While in game, open up the game Options, head to the Game tab, then choose your filter from the dropdown menu next to Item Filter. The filter you placed should be detected after a few seconds.

How to Make Your Own Loot Filter

Customize Your Own Using Filterblade

Websites like Filterblade, made customizing your own loot filters for the first Path of Exile game very easy.

As of writing, Filterblade does not have full support for PoE2 but they plan to release one in the coming weeks, which will make customizing your own loot filter so much easier.

Code It Yourself

Making your own loot filter from scratch is a whole enterprise on its own, which requires some coding knowledge. But if you're savvy enough, you can boot up Notepad++ and whip up your own personal item filter.

Likewise, you can use Grinding.Zone's Filter Master to guide you toward creating your own filter.

What are Loot Filters?

Highlights Valuable Loot

Loot filters are capable of enhancing your Path of Exile 2 experience by making it easier for you to find valuable and desirable loot when it drops.

Loot filters basically enhance visual cues to make it easier to see rare loot, like changing item text colors as well as size. Loot filters can also add audio cues that notify you when a rare item has dropped.

Hides Undesirable Loot

In the same way that you can highlight valuable loot, you can also hide lower-tier loot from even appearing on your screen.
