Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, particularly 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 efficiently as PC players. This guide clarifies the process.

How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts

To use loot filters on PoE 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.

After initiating the connection, you'll be redirected to log in to your console account. Once completed, your accounts will be linked.

Finding and Using Loot Filters

With linked accounts, return to your website profile 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 dropdown menu above the filter list. Choose your preferred filter and click "Follow." New players might find NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters ideal.

After following a filter, 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 dropdown; select and save it. Items will now display with filter-defined labels, colors, and/or sound effects.
