poe2filter.com - A PoE 2 custom loot filter generation website

I built an easy-to-use PoE2 custom loot filter generation website, allowing you to generate your own filter which does exactly what you want: filter out clutter you're not interested in, and highlight items you probably don't want to miss.

https://poe2filter.com

- Easy to use, nothing to learn.
- Hides items you're not interested in.
- Only shows weapon and armour types of your choice.
- Highlights important items with a tiered beam and displays them on the minimap.
- Fully economy-tiered items.
- By default doesn't change label styles, keeping the original game's atmosphere.
- Optionally offers extensive customization options.

You probably only want to start using these filters around halfway the campaign.

You can keep track of what's on the todo-list on this Trello. All feedback very welcome here, or on Discord!

If you like the filter, spread the word, leave a message here, or you can buy me a coffee (so I write less bugs! ^^)

But what helps me most is if you talk about this on social Gaming media (Reddit, Youtube, Twitch, Discord), PoE2 content creators, or by contacting PoE2-related website owners to link to it! :)

Having a problem with the filter?

- Make sure you are loading the correct file, and refreshed the filter in game.
- Are you sure there's no custom, cosmetic or free rule which is causing the issue?
- Still not working? Send me your .filter file in a PM or on Discord and I'll have a look!

Updates on 11/01/2025 - v9.47

- Further much improved the look & feel of the color picker and added preset colors for all of the thematic PoE colors

Updates 06/01/2025 - v9.23

Updates 02/01/2025

- The filter configuration is now included when you download or copy the filter. Hence, the 'Export' button is not longer needed.
- To import a filter, you now select the actual .filter file.
- The tool will tell you whether it managed to successfully import the file, or show an error message. You can only import filters generated by this tool, as of this version (9.2).
- You can now freely choose which currency items to hide, instead of using presets from a dropdown. Your preset should have been correctly migrated.
- You can now choose to only show Rare weapons and armour of your selected types.

Updates 01/01/2025

- Added 'Custom Cosmetic Rules' on the 'Cosmetic' tab.

- Added the option to always show and highlight good and excellent Chance Bases.
- Empty rules which don't filter on anything are left out. This prevents accidently showing everything by clicking the button to add a custom rule.
- Bugfix: You can now add custom (cosmetic or regular) rules for 'all' Distilled Emotions, Catalysts and Essenses.

Updates 30/12/2024

- Added a clearer warning on the Custom and Free Rules tabs that they could end up showing or hiding everything
- Added more options in the 'Hide Weapons and Armour' filter: you can now also choose to hide 'Rares < Advanced', 'Rares < Expert', and 'All Rares' (with the warning that you then have to add rules to show your preferred weapon and armour types)

Updates 22/12/2024

- On popular request, added a 'Cosmetic' tab, currently allowing two things: change the size of top-tier currency, and add an alert sound when they drop.
- Added highlights for keys dropped in the Trial of the Sekhemas

Updates 20/12/2024

- Added the 'Custom Rules' tab that lets you append any rules yourself, such as custom styles, highlighting, showing the jewellery you still want to see,...

Updates 19/12/2024

- Introduced 'Dynamic Skill Gem' system. Hides skill gems lower than the specified level, and support gems based on that level (might still need tweaking).
- Show Brown & Purple-Tier drops larger on the minimap
- Sceptres, Staves and Wands don't have Advanced and Expert base types: don't allow filtering on those.

Updates 18/12/2024

Updates 16/12/2024

- Moved copy button to a more prominent spot
- Renamed 'Clear' button to 'Reset', and added a confirmation dialog
- Switched to exact match everywhere (except for the safety catch-alls)
- Bugfix: Setting bows as preferred weapon type no longer also shows crossbows

Updates 14/12/2024

- Added highlight option for skill gems starting at a specified level
- Provided initial and default values for number fields
- No longer highlight runes and added the option to hide them

- Removed highlights from lowest level currency, and moved some currency tiers around.
- Highlight stacks 20 and 100 times larger than minimum amount

- Added 'Dynamic filters' for Waystones: hide/show/highlight waystones based on your current Waystone level.

Updates 13/12/2024

- Fixed wording: I somehow managed to write 'Rare' where it should have been 'Magic' in a couple of places, which wade everything very confusing. To be clear: this filter NEVER hides Rares or Uniques, only Normal and Magic items which you don't specify.
- Added some tooltips
- Added highlight for Logbooks
- Simplified jewellery filters: no longer highlight, just allow hiding normal and/or magic. Dropped the item level filter.
- Added filter for small gold stacks (you still pick it up)
- Rearranged to clearer categories: filter, exceptions, highlights
- Added highlight for Rare Jewellery again
- Added 'Copy to clipboard' button
- Bugfix: Don't hide Belts with the 'Hide Normal and Magic Items' filter option
- Bugfix: 2 and more socketed items were not shown

Thanks so much for this, working great. Is there a way to highlight logbooks somehow? o/

Added! Reminds me; would you happen to know whether there is Expedition currency other than 'Exotic Coinage'? The other ones from POE1 don't seem to be recognized anymore. I haven't done any expedition content (got me killed once, been skipping it since then xD)

If you could give it a testrun on some Expedition content that would be great!

By the way, you will have to enter your preferences again. When I do an update to the structure of the filter, I invalidate the stored values.

Cheers, besides exotic coinage there is only 'Broken Circle Artifact', 'Order Artifact' and 'Black Scythe Artifact'.
Nothing else drops that's expedition specific except the expedition precursor tablet but those tablets are highlighted already.

Last small improvement I would suggest is hiding small piles of gold completely, they look exactly the same as relatively good currency (I clicked on gold so often thinking its currency xD) and are more distracting than useful + you drown in gold in late game anyway.


Ty again for filter, will redownload o7

Ok, thanks, think it was already OK than, just adding highlighting for the logbooks.

Great suggestion on hiding gold, added! Configurable amount, 50 by default.

if you check "Hide Normal And Magic Items" and uncheck "Hide Jewellery" it will still hide all normal&magic belts.

also could there maybe be a way to filter belt bases?

Well spot! Belts shouldn't have gotten hidden by the 'Hide Normal And Magic Items'. Fixed.

Regarding filtering belt bases: good point. But then I suppose we'd need some kind of muti-select. That sounds like quite a bit of work :D. And then I could imagine people wanting that for rings and amulets too. Would be nice, but definitely not a quick fix.

As a temporary quick fix, what I could do, is add some general Exceptions text area, where you can write your own rules which get appended to the top?

Fixed a bug where both Two Handed and One Handed Maces were shown when filtering on just either.

Bigger update with a dynamic filter for Waystones!
