Quick Links

Streamline your Path of Exile 2 looting experience with loot filters! These invaluable tools minimize on-screen clutter, highlighting crucial items amidst the chaos of numerous drops. While convenient on PC, using filters on consoles requires a few extra steps. This guide will walk you through the process for PlayStation and Xbox players.

How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts

To utilize loot filters on PoE 2's console versions, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account via the Path of Exile 1 website. Here's how:

  1. Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
  2. Locate your account name (top-left corner) and click it.
  3. Select "Manage Account" from the options displayed.
  4. Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.

You'll then be prompted to log in to your console account. Complete the connection process to link your accounts.

Finding and Using Loot Filters

With your accounts linked, return to your profile page on the website and click the "Item Filters" button. Then, click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a page with available filters.

Select "PoE 2" from the dropdown menu above the filter list. Choose a filter (NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters are recommended for beginners), and click "Follow."

After following a filter, launch Path of Exile 2. Navigate to the Options menu, then the Game tab. At the top, you'll find the "Item Filter" option. Select your chosen filter from the dropdown and click "Save." Your in-game item drops will now be categorized and highlighted according to your selected filter, using different labels, colors, and/or sound effects.
