Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially in later stages where item drops increase dramatically. They declutter the screen while highlighting valuable items, streamlining the looting process. While using a controller or playing on console might seem to complicate this, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize filters just as effectively as PC users. This guide clarifies the process.

How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts

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

  1. Log in to the Path of Exile website.
  2. Access your account settings by clicking your account name (top-left).
  3. Select "Manage Account" (right-side, below your profile).
  4. Under "Secondary Login," connect your PlayStation (Sony) or Xbox (Microsoft) account.

Follow the on-screen prompts to link your accounts.

Finding and Using Loot Filters

After linking accounts, return to your profile page on the website and click the "Item Filters" button (right-side). Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available filters.

Select "PoE 2" from the drop-down menu above the filter list. Choose your preferred filter and click "Follow." New players might find NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters ideal.

With the filter followed, open Path of Exile 2. Navigate to the Options menu, then the Game tab. At the top, select the "Item Filter" option. Your followed filter should appear in the drop-down menu. Select and save it. Items will now be differently labeled, colored, or accompanied by sound effects based on your chosen filter.
