Quick Links
Loot filters are invaluable in Path of Exile 2, especially as the item drops increase. They significantly reduce screen clutter, highlighting crucial items and streamlining the looting process. While managing items manually on console can be cumbersome, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize loot filters just like PC users. However, the setup process can be slightly confusing, so this guide provides a clear walkthrough.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To use loot filters on consoles, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Follow these steps:
- Log in to the Path of Exile website.
- Click your account name in the upper-left corner.
- Select "Manage Account" on the right, below your profile information.
- Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either Sony (PS) or Microsoft (Xbox).
After clicking "Connect," you'll be prompted to log in to your PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the login 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 on the right. Then, click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available loot filters for Path of Exile 2.
Select "PoE 2" from the dropdown menu above the filter list. Choose your preferred filter and click "Follow." New players might find NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters helpful for a balanced experience.
Once you've followed a filter, open Path of Exile 2 and navigate to the Options menu. Go to the "Game" tab; the "Item Filter" option is at the top. Select your chosen filter from the dropdown menu and click "Save." Your game will now use the filter, applying labels, colors, and sound effects to dropped items based on their value.
