How to make a Loot Filter in Last Epoch

Loot Filters are essential for managing the overwhelming amount of loot in Last Epoch, as they help you focus on items that are valuable to your build and playstyle. Here is a guide on how to make a loot filter in Last Epoch.

How to create your own Loot Filter in Last Epoch

Creating an effective Loot Filter in Last Epoch will greatly help you by reducing the time you spend managing your loot. With these steps, you can tailor your Loot Filter to suit your specific needs and preferences. This will be especially helpful as you gather your resources for crafting.

A Loot Filter allows you to hide unwanted items and emphasize the ones you're interested in. This tool is crucial for maintaining a clean and efficient loot collection process, especially in later stages of the game, when you slowly start getting overwhelmed with scores of trash loot that doesn't necessarily hold any value to you. Man, I wish I had this tool during my Diablo 3 days.

How to Create a New Loot Filter in Last Epoch

To create a new Loot Filter, click the + sign in the filter interface or press Shift-F and select New Filter.

You'll be prompted to Create a New Filter, Open Filter Folder, or Paste Clipboard Contents. Generally speaking, you'll be either creating a new filter or opening your filter folder to make use of this feature.

Let's assume you want to create your own filter for clarity's sake. You'll be prompted to add a description and choose an icon and color for easy identification. Your loot filter will be created, but to make use of it, you'll first need to start adding some rules to it.

Adding Rules to Your Filter

Rules define what your Loot Filter does, and each rule can show, hide, or recolor items based on specific conditions you set, such as item rarity or type. Adding rules is done through the Add Rule button, where you can specify the criteria for each rule.

When you click Add Rule, you'll be presented with a screen called Edit Rule.

In this section, you'll be able to add Conditions to your rule. Conditions are logical statements that determine how the game handles loot that drops. Last Epoch has a huge amount of conditions that you can add to a rule, allowing you to fully customize your filter as needed. For example, if you wanted to add an Affix condition to your rule, you'll be able to select from a large list of properties that will help you manage loot drops.

Notice how I've added the "Show all items with Chance to gain Dusk Shroud when you use a Maelee Attack hits" affix to my rule. This is just one affix, but you can add as many conditions like this to as many rules as you like. It is the combination of Rules filled with conditions that allow you to create specific filters for very specific items you're hunting. You can have a total of 25 Rules in a single loot filter.

Importing and Exporting Filters in Last Epoch

I find that importing and exporting loot filters Last Epoch is invaluable, especially if I want to migrate them to a different character class or a profile. Here is how to import or export your filters in a few simple steps.

Importing a Filter

If you prefer not to start from scratch, you can import pre-made filters. Download the filter file, then use the '+' sign in the Loot Filter interface to 'Open Filter Folder' and paste your downloaded filter into this folder. Here are a few useful filters to get you started.

• Sentinel - Sentinel Leveling Filter
• Rogue - Rogue Leveling Filter
• Mage - Mage Leveling Filter
• Primalist - Primalist Leveling Filter
• Acolyte - Acolyte Leveling Filter

These filters will remove unusable and unnecessary equipment drops for each class, allowing you to see only items that you could potentially make use of. They are a strong starting point, and once you progress further into the game, you'll be able to add your own rules to the filter to customize it further.

Exporting Your Filter

To share your filter or transfer it to another setup, use the 'Export Filter' option. This will save your filter to an external location, from which you can copy or share the filter file as needed.

Using Visibility and Emphasize Options

When adding rules, you can choose to show, hide, or recolor items. The 'Emphasize' option makes items more noticeable by increasing the size of their nameplates, though it may currently have some visual bugs.
