Examples

Currency and other items are displayed in their original style, but rare currency is highlighted using tiered beams.

The minimap shows items in these same colors and using 3 icons: currency, maps, items.

Using a 'Dynamic Filter', Waystones are highlighted relative to where you are currently at.

How To Use This Website

Creating your first filter

1. Follow the Quick Filters tutorial and choose some Presets, or if you skip the tutorial, review the default settings and adjust to your preferences and where you are at in the game. You'll probably at least want to add some 'Weapon and Armour Exceptions' rules for your character.
2. Once you're done, you have two options:
   • Log in to pathofexile.com, and then Sync the filter directly to the game. It will be created as poe2filter in cyan. This is the only option for Console and GeForce Now players.
   • Alternatively, on Windows you can Download the filter file, and move it into the correct folder: %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2. You can open the correct folder from the Game's Settings Menu under 'Game'.
     Pro tip: In Windows, you can 'pin' a folder for easy access in your Windows Explorer. Just right-lick the folder and select 'Pin to Quick Access'.
3. In the game, select the filter from the dropdown menu in the 'Game' Settings Menu. The game will save it for future use, and load it on startup.
4. This website will store your filters in the browser. As long as you use the same browser, you can always continue to edit your already stored filters.

Updating a filter

1. Make the desired changes to your filter. Once finished, you have three options:
   1. If necessary first Log in again, and Sync your updated filter. This is the only option for console and GeForce Now players.
   2. You can also Download the file again and move it over the existing file. Make sure the file name is still correct; your browser might have appended (1) to the file name.
   3. Alternatively, copy the filter text using the 'Copy to Clipboard' button, and paste it directly in your filter file which is already in the PoE2 directory.
      Pro Tip: You can just keep your filter file always open in the background while playing the game.
2. In the game, click the 'Refresh' button next to the filter under 'Game' settings.
3. The game will tell you when the filter was loaded correctly (or if it encountered a parsing error).

Creating other filters

You can create a different filter for each of your characters, for different stages of the game, or both. You can start from scratch, or start by cloning an existing filter.

1. In the top-right-hand corner of the page, you can see your currently active filter. The default filter is called 'poe2filter'. Clicking (Change) will open the Filter Selector dialog.
2. This dialog has three sections: Stored Filters, Account Filters, and Other Filters.
   1. The 'Stored Filters' section lists all filters stored on this browser, which are immediately available to edit and use. Here you can also rename a filter by clicking on its name and entering a new (unique) name.
   2. If you are logged in, the 'Account Filters' will display all other filters that were created with poe2filter.com which are stored on your pathofexile.com account, but not yet stored on your browser. The only thing you can do with those is download () them to your browser. Then you can start editing them.
      Note: If you are not yet logged in to pathofexile.com, the dialog will display a link to do so.
   3. If you have any filters stored on your pathofexile.com account which were not created with poe2filter.com, they are displayed purely for your information in the 'Other Filters' section.
3. To create a new filter, click the 'Create New' button to create one with the default settings, or click the Clone () button next to an existing filter stored on the browser. Be sure to change the name.
4. You can switch between filters at any time by clicking on the row.
5. You can remove filters from your browser's storage (). Note that if you have syncronized them to your pathofexile.com account, they will still continue to exist there. It is not possible to delete filters from your account through GGG's API's. To delete a filter from your account, you must navigate to your pathofexile.com account's filters page.
6. Lastly, from the Filter Selector dialog, you can synchronize () your stored filters to your pathofexile.com account. This does the same thing as using the 'Sync to PoE2' button on the filter tool.

Importing a .filter file

You can import any .filter file that was generated with this website -- your own, but also other players'!

1. Ideally, if you use a downloaded filter, first place it in the game's filters folder.
2. On this website, click the 'Import' button left of the 'Download' and 'Copy to Clipboard' buttons.
3. If necessary, browse to the filter's location. Open the filter.
4. Make any necessary adjustments. If you're importing another player's filter, be sure to double-check all the Quick Filter settings!
5. If you only want to import styles from a filter (also called a 'Skin') or another section such as Quick Filters, use the 'Custom Import' feature instead of the regular 'Quick Import'. You can find the 'Custom Import' feature under the small down-arrow next to the Import button.
6. Continue as you would normally.
