Quick Links

Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially in the later stages when item drops increase dramatically. They declutter the screen and highlight 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. This guide clarifies the process.

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:

  1. Log in to the Path of Exile website.
  2. Access your account settings by clicking your account name in the upper-left corner.
  3. Select "Manage Account" from the options displayed.
  4. Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.

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

Finding and Using Loot Filters

Once the accounts are linked, return to your profile page on the website and click the "Item Filters" button. Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink to access a list of available filters.

Select "PoE 2" from the dropdown menu at the top of the filter list. Choose a filter (NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters are recommended for new players) and click "Follow."

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