Quick Links
Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially during periods of high item drops. 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 item filters just as effectively as PC players. However, the setup process requires a few steps.
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. Here's how:
- Log in to the Path of Exile website.
- Access your account settings by clicking your account name (top-left).
- Select "Manage Account" from the menu (right-side, below your profile).
- Under "Secondary Login," connect your PlayStation (Sony) or Xbox (Microsoft) account.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the account linking process.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
With your accounts linked, return to your profile page on the website and locate the "Item Filters" button (right-side). Click the "Item Filter Ladder" link. This opens a new tab displaying available filters.
Select "PoE 2" from the filter dropdown menu. Choose a filter—NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters are recommended for new players—and click "Follow."
Once followed, open Path of Exile 2, navigate to the Options menu, and select the "Game" tab. At the top, you'll find the "Item Filter" option. Select your chosen filter from the dropdown, and save your settings. Your in-game items will now be categorized and highlighted according to your selected filter, using visual cues like different colors, labels, or even sound effects.
