Loots Filters Made Simple In Last Epoch

The Approach

I prefer simplicity. Loot filters can become overwhelming, but Last Epoch stands out with its exceptional built-in loot filter.

Translated: There’s ample room for self-sabotage, stumbling into unnecessary complications.

The core principle of this filter is to conceal everything except the essentials. Consequently, we conceal everything other than set items and unique items placed at the bottom.

There’s no need to fret about selling items for gold; the time spent traveling to the shop and selling can be better utilized by advancing through another half of a map, recouping the money through gold drops. As an added benefit, there’s no need to sift through a mound of irrelevant items – a significant relief.

At the upper end, we display only the types of items that align with our interests. Since I’m playing as a mage, there’s no concern for swords, for instance.

Affixes

Additionally, we make sure to display all “Personal” affixes. Although I may not fully understand what they entail, their intriguing and ambiguous nature prompts me to keep an eye out for them when they drop.

The essence of all this lies in the central portion.

Filter items based on the affixes that matter to you, utilizing a straightforward color-coding system to easily identify the number of affixes on an item.

In the initial stages of the game, when experimentation is key, and a detailed build guide isn’t necessary for enjoyment, your filter may include numerous affixes. However, as you progress, you’ll refine your preferences.

To fine-tune the affixes you’re interested in, remove all middle sections except for the yellow or the lowest tier. Update the affixes, duplicate the filter, and reset the colors to efficiently replicate the affix list. If this process is unclear, feel free to ask for clarification in the comments.

Dispose of drops that aren’t needed to accumulate shards for the affixes you prioritize. As you level up and acquire better drops, salvaging every yellow item can deplete your funds or quickly fill up your inventory space. This serves as a signal to further streamline your loot filter.

Narrow down the displayed item rarities, especially normal ones, after filling your equipment slots and magic shortly afterward.

Eliminate the yellow affix tier (and eventually orange as you progress) so that you exclusively focus on identifying red and purple drops. Concentrate on those specific affixes and the type of gear you are seeking.

White Filter

The last component is the white filter.

This filter serves to emphasize the exalted affix drops that align with your preferences, specifically tier 6 and 7 affixes. This way, you’ll easily recognize and grab them for legendary crafting.

As you progress into the late game, you can tailor the middle set of filters for each particular item you are actively farming. For instance, you might create a set of filters for different types of gloves, specifying the affixes you desire. Repeat this process for other items like amulets and so forth.
