I figured out why the blue item was showing! Hiding all items along with all idols in 1 rule was messing it up. I separated them and it worked perfectly : )
LE launched at worst time for me, so busy with work but I finally sat down yesterday and grinded to 88 and at endgame now. Now I am running into issue of crafting exalt to pump my LP leggos and every single time the removal bricks my exalted rare. Was hoping you would give more details on what is the endgame instead of crafting, cause even with my "meh" average gear, I am already fully clearing empowered Monos and upto Tier 3 dungeons. I will try Tier 4 dungeons soon. I am just not sure what the endgame content is at the moment. Is it just making LP perfect gear?
This really helped me understand endgame gearing and loot filters. You could say he went into "excruciating" detail about this, but knowing WHY and when to make exceptions is important. It's easy to just say "do this" but knowing why is what will help with making your own decisions.
One of the greatest things about LE is that I created a similar loot filter for endgame. Only proves that this game is the ideal middle ground between D4 and PoE! Your loot filter is just better so I refined mine. Keep up the good videos, appreciated!
Thanks so much man, I had gamer's block for about 2 days because of endgame itemization and how overwhelming the loot filter was. You simplified it so much for me, and now im back to grinding empowered again! You rock.
"And then from there I just throw it on the ground. And it won't even... it shouldn't even show up anymore... actually, why is that showing?" Haha! I love how you do this live and fix the problems that we encounter. Your instructional videos are so helpful, thanks for taking the time to share! 💖
One thing to note if you're going to shatter: There's always a chance you don't get the rare affix on an item. Runes of removal, when they remove an affix, give you shards equal to the tier of affix removed. Very useful to maximize the extraction of the affixes you want.
that is really an eye opening expirience. i still get FOMO (Fear of missing out) thinkering on my own loot filter.... cause i dont want to miss any oppertunitys for a good craft, but this video helps a lot
Yep, needed this video. I really dialed in my loot filter last night after finally understanding how my build scales. I started using the new healing hands as melee and loving it so far.
One thing i never see people talk about is using experimental. If you have a bad prefix you can slam it off in one go, and then you can hsve a guaranteed seal to get it out of the way. And actually they are completely deterministic, so you might actually just want it on there in general. Only helps on a few item types, but it changes a dice roll not in your favor to a near guaranteed success
@DZ14783 the glyph of insight will replace the prefix. Then you can use a glyph of research to seal it and open up the prefix slot. No risk at all of failing removing or anything else.
This is an amazing guide, very pedagogic, thanks to take so much time explaining your thoughts process. I already started to create my custom filters but seeing the intent behind the rules you show is very helpful to improve upon it.
Rax, thank you for all of your videos. I’ve been really struggling lately and your videos keep my mind busy from feeling for a bit. Know that you are really appreciated in all different ways. Keep up the great work man
Wow. This just might be the best video on endgame of LE I've ever seen and I've been playing this game since it was available as early access and I still didn't realize many of these tricks. Thank you, sir. 😃
FWIW, it may be easier to do some very basic XML editing (loot filters) and combine some under from different loot filters to combine them. So you can use the GUI to quickly remove the early ones from a class you want to play and merge them into your main loot filter. 75 rules max still applies, seems like reversed order so first in file is last in game filter list.
26:37 "i think he actually cried" LOL love the humor man, and thanks for the guide. i finally hit endgame and started to take my gear seriously....so much to catch up on.
This is perfect, exactly what I wanted since I started to get inundated with items even while having an endgame filter from Maxroll, and it was very annoying to deal with so many items. Now I understand how to make my own loot filter. Thank you, Raxx! I'd love it if you could make a video about the various classes and masteries and explain what the playstyle of each feels like. I'm not really sure whether I'm going to want to play a class just based on reading the guides on Maxroll, so it would be very helpful.
I think I had probably 95% of this in my head from watching you and Wudi blasting since launch, but it's still really helpful to have it all explained directly in one place, just to get it properly nailed down in my brain. Appreciate all the effort you put into sharing your accumulated knowledge, Raxx!
Awesome video, way more helpful than just being handed some opaque loot filter. A little spoonfeeding is fine for leveling/campaign stuff, but if you're invested enough to care about legendary potential, you're invested enough to understand loot filters!
hey man I'm usually one to never comment on youtube vids but i gotta say the way you dumb things down and explain them is so refeshing i can actually follow it. Was the same with your poe mapping explained vid as well. Thanks for doing this for the community of ARPG gamers, you earned a sub from me thats for sure. Keep up the good work and will be looking out for your vids on poe2 later in the year.
EXTREMELY helpful, thank you - I was getting overwhelmed by what to do with all the stuff getting through the basic guide filters. Always appreciate how you take us through the thinking and the process of evaluating your bag after a run.
Please keep these coming Raxx! I love that you're here on the ground floor of LE launch and can't wait to to hear all your insights on how to dominate this game!
such great info about loot filters, it took me ages to figure this out, good for you for doing a sensible video that actually shows people what to do rather than just talking off the website about how you can have different filters!
Fubgun has one of the best loot filters I've seen, he has a separate rule for every class so you can add or remove mods based on the meta and builds you want to play without having a million affixes from different classes in the same rule.
I keep making my filter stricter but it still catches up with me. I ended up only picking up either chase affixes for my build at T6+ or any double exalted, and I'm still running out of space with 20+ tabs. I can't make it any stricter lol, I'm blasting way too hard, gonna need to take some time to clean.
This video is incredibly helpful. One of the big flaws I've found when using the premade loot filters off maxroll is that they are too strict and designed for endgame players who already have a base. e.g. Using the Runemaster Frostclaw Cold build, I got barely any upgrades levelling from 60-80 because it wasn't looking for those mid-tier items. It's only looking for BIS best of the best items. Need to customise these/make your own one when levelling up or you'll miss out on a lot of upgrades.
Generally really starting to understand why Blizz wants to avoid loot filters. It grows into a whole thing, and seeing someone even like Raxx not having it set right and not even knowing it, it's all just too much for the average player. Better game design / itemization is needed. Loot Filter is lava.
One thing to add: With rarer/class specific affixes, I ALWAYS have a dead rule at the top that shows T1 affixs of one’s I specifically need for chaosing. The T3/T4 rule is good for getting a base amount without over shattering, but if you are out of X affix and need it to chaos, adding it to the T1 rule so you can find the affix and then use it to chaos roll is super nice plus then you just go remove the affix and keep going with the T3 rule, instead of having to wait around for a T3 to drop for a reroll.
outstanding vid raxx, I saw you on stream with all the tabs for exalts and started doing the same i thought there had to be a method to the madness. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!!
Yeah you’re 100% right about hoarding exalted items. At first I was only picking up exalted I need but after I changed my build I realized I messed up by not picking all of them up.
Thank you for this video, particularly explaining why you should hang on to Exalted items. One of the downsides to the intricacies of the crafting system is how things like that aren't immediately obvious unless you're really good at thinking ahead or have a lot of playtime.
Thanks for making the loot filter easy to understand. LE is my first real dive into ARPGs, I don't count POE because I never even finished the acts, but LE has been a blast for me. I'm at the end game now and my generic leveling filter I found online is useless, but this video gave me the info I needed to make my own from scratch
So helpful. And the way you explain stuff is just the right pace to not lose people. Keep it up man, this shit will surely help people understand how to really start tweaking their builds to be stronger.
I've been playing for a long time, but you just gave me a great idea. I will make a rule for every build I see being promoted by the big boys with super specific items for 3 or 4 affixes from the build. Those items will be super specific, but you can make a single rule that can cover a whole build so You can look for items for dozens of builds atthe same time. I am in trade faction, so I am trying to make money's
i played for almost 150 hours in beta and 70 hours in 1.0 and legit im pretty sure i dumped super god roll purple items many time , but will start keeping them for later , thansk for tips man , now that more people are making guide for this game it is easier to understand many aspects of it
Raxx, this video was perfect. I was already saving a bunch of items because of the loot filter I had, but I didn't fully understand why. This video helped me to not only better understand why, but gave me the confidence to find tune my loot filter based on my long term goals (aka, my ass aint playing more than two classes this season, why on earth do I have all this crap showing)
You're so right, that Rune of Removal i'm sure has some bs probability linked to Tier that makes it disproportionally go for the Exalted affixes. I cry every time.
In the case of a prefix you can actually more reliably remove it with an experimental prefix. Instead of worrying about chaos or despair dice rolls, you can just overwrite it, use a research rune to seal the experimental affix, and then have an open slot for whatever you want.
@TurtleArms yeah but the 5th is sealed, and legendaries won't pull from the sealed affix. This is mainly useful specifically for getting a near perfect exalt with a bad prefix to be a basically perfect one for a legendary merge. Although it's also useful if you actually want the exalt prefix, which can actually be quite powerful in certain legendaries. The main thing is its a guaranteed 2 shot to get a level 4 or w.e. affix out of the way. When otherwise you would need to chaos or despair and pray, and probably right after removal and pray, with a glyph of insight you have a predetermined affix you can have, and it's a guaranteed 1 shot seal with a research rune(that can be glyph of hoped even) to get it out of the way entirely so you can pick any prefix.
I played over 110 hours the last 2 weeks and wasn't hording a lot, now I'm level 89 and get 1 shot in empowereds 100 corruption. I got res at over 100% on all and do tons of damage but 1 mistake and I get 1 shot by basic mobs. I finally found that you need crit avoidance. I went back to 90 none-empowered monos. After playing for another 10 hours, monos, dungeons for prophecies, etc... I didn't get a single crit avoidance item of any rarety. Out of several dozen uniques 2 or 3 of them were slightly relevant for my class and stats, the rest is throwaway.
The plural of "Staff" is "Staves." And yeah, I manually go over my exalt drops and make sure they have multiple affixes that are good or make sense together. I make sure at least two affixes make sense together on a 4-affix piece, 1 is enough for one with 3. BTW, piece of advice - don't make generic exalted tabs, make a tab for each base, and have (uniques/)exalted of that type there. That can show you, "Oh, I'm really lacking exalted daggers/helmets, maybe I should lower my requirements for these." And it has stuff next to one another if you also put the uniques of that type there, for easier comparison.
OMG! I can't thank you enough for this one man. I needed this info badly and now I'll be able to play longer because I won't quit due to not wanting to process all of my loot. This is why you're the GOAT my guy!
It can't be understated how having important a super tight loot filter is. It will save you soooo much time and energy from having to sort through endless useless items.
This video was so helpful. I wish Maxroll would just have like a legend or a cheat sheet on what their loot filters actually mean. If it exists I have not found it. Just started binging your videos now that I am nearing end game.
This video shows me how much of a noob I really am at these ARPGs. I mean the idea of even using my stash I didnt understand fully. Even now all I have is uniques I cant use in there. I just shatter everything I can and sell the rest. My loot filter I set up just highlights anything with minion affixes on them and I pick up those items. Its been a long time since D2 I need to catch up and learn how to play these games! Campaign has been super easy until Lagoon that fight was fun but took me like 20 tries so I feel ive been doing alright but no doubt ive been very sub optimal.
Uniques you aren't using can still be useful if you plan on making other characters this cycle. I wouldn't shatter everything, just stuff for rarer affixes, cause nobody has the gold to shatter everything and you'll get enough of the common ones naturally (except early game).
You need to add a second set of hide filters at the top to further refine what you've shown. It would go something like this based on your filter hide all > show cool affixes > hide useless slot / class items > show all uniques. After your second set of hides you can put another layer for a second class for instance (but they must not share wanted affixes obviously). For example I have a few tiers of wanted loot for my very engame build (blues are exalted with 2 wanted affixes, yellow 3 affixes, orange are exalted with a t7 wanted affix from a shorter list and red 2 t6+ great affxes) I then hide all the bases/slot/class then recolor in green all I want for my next build. This ensures my tiered loot is exclusive without hiding any of the wanted stuff for the next build. That's also where you would put your shattering candidates (again, don't search for stuff that could already be show lower or it will get recolored). This is a very very heavily custom filter down to what bases and affix combinations can roll on specific slots and required care when updating it but it will both show you only want you want to see and everything that you want to see. I usually need a bit more than a full mono to clear out my inventory, depending on if I'm using prophecies for certain uniques
I think one tip you could have added to this to make it a bit better would be to start with a generic skeleton of this loot filter and save it as a template. That way every time you need a new filter you start with 70% of it done and just need to select "duplicate" on the template, rename it to a descriptive name and add in the class/build specific details to it. I suppose if you wanted to go crazy you could also save a sub class template which might cut down on the duplicative work even more.
Imma be honest right here. Diablo 4 was my first game in this genre. You and Wujio were a great help(rogue/ charge barb fan). Last Epoch is....addicting, and tiring. I've been playing for a week already a LOT. I'm going to take a break and just watch u guys for a while.
The only gripes I have with the loot filter is that I would really like to filter all the items by base, and just have a pool of generically good affixes for a build. I don't know which affixes go on a weapon or boots or amulet. And I'm not about to spend an hour in a build planner to make a build just so I can import a filter. But the issue is, you can't select subbases for multiple types. So my perfect filter kinda needs 50 rules for basic items (any base exalt for slamming which I guess can just be one rule for everything, decent rare item with 2 right modifiers, can later be disabled, godly rare item, exalted with good base) for each slot. Sometimes twice if I don't care if it's a sword or axe. It's a pain to set up. Also wish there were some better "artificial" groups for affixes. Like let's say I'm doing warlock, I want necrotic damage, there should be a group for "necrotic" that includes damage, damned chance, penetration etc. I'm seriously considering making a tool for it but the filter syntax is quite ugly, and I don't think there's a publicly available list of affixes/items with their internal IDs I could get. I really hope they add the ability to pick subtypes for multiple item types at some point. Even with duplicating rules there's still a lot of clicking to get what I want.
Honestly another fix for this would be to just let us make a "list" instead of a rule. That was you can make a rule for each base, then just attach your global "i want all these affixes" list to it. That way, if you ever edit your list, all the rules with that list attached get updated to include or exclude whatever you changed.
@@Knights_of_the_Nine That's exactly what the loot filter does. Rule 1 - Hide Everything. Rule 2 - Show everything with these affixes, in quantities of 1-2-3-4 and set 4 different recolors. Loot filter done in 5 rules
the reason your helmet was showing in your filter is because implicits are also classed as affixes. I was loosing my mind trying to figure out why am I seeing so many boots even though I have it set as 3 good afixes. It was because of the fire res implicit counting as a good one
That's not true. When you make a rule for "affix", the rule only applies to the 1-4 affixes an item can have, never the implicit. If you want a rule to show an item with 3 specific affixes, you have to change the 1 to a 3 where it says "Where at least x of these affixes on the same item". Rax explained the helmet issue in the first comment.
@@stebobibo I've seen his comment but my argument remains. I have tested this extensively when I had an issue with it. If you select your affixes to be 'fire res %' , '+str', '+HP' as well as advanced setting to only show >= 3 afixes. By dropping a pair of boots with 'fire res %' implicit and only 2 out of 3 affixes being '+str' and '+HP' the item will show in the filter.
I might be stupid,, but you should have clicked on each rule and explain them more in depth, the second last rule I am having troubles making it exactly as it looks on yours.
I was scared to make my own filter even after watching multiple videos but after yours I finally did at lvl 98 so I only see stuff that has a chance of being useful
I found a exalted shield with T6 21% ALL resistance (not elemental, but ALL), Re did all my gear based of this one single item. I can’t wait to slam it into a unique to hopefully get a godly legendary. Great guide Raxx. Thank you.
Nice...thx aaa lot. I always did play without the lootfilter...watched every single piece from yellow up (thought ey, no problem I have time...xd)....but it really got out uf hand soooo much loot....so yeah, muuuuch more comfortable with the filter.
Thank you Raxx for reassuring I was doing the right thing. I had been hording uniques and exhaulted gear but was unsure if i needed to do so. Im a "keep it just in case kinda guy" and now i dont feel so bad for the growing amount of loot and stash tabs i have. Great video!!!
I WAS SELLING ALL UNWANTED EXALTED ITEMS. Holy shit I didn't know you need to match the type of items (i.e staff with staff). Thanks Raxx, you are a monster explaining things
Great video! I've been getting frustrated with my 80 bleed warlock using the maxroll guide and not finding gear I need. He is getting wrecked in empowered and I can't find any of the right gear. Now I have a plan to re-do the filter as my own filter, so I can find what I'm looking for to fix and then progress my build.
can't wait for the video on experimental items. Don't see a huge point to rune of research and glyph of insight (also a bit fused on how to get these got 1). Be nice to know what is good from them and when to use them. I figured haste and frenzy effect could maybe be good, armor applied to damage over time would be pretty great for most builds, ward per missing health I know is used for low life builds, and maybe ward on kill could maybe be ok for strong clear speed builds. Only time I could see the glyph being good is maybe when you are looking for one of those mods and find a really good base you could use it as a better rune of removal then could seal it to maybe min max forging protentional for a bit better chance at getting a 5 mod exalted.
Love the explanation of the filter and importance of stash. I have a few stash tabs now, going on like 11 or 12, starting to get expensive, and was starting to question whether or not I should actually be saving as much stuff as I am. Should probably start sorting through and filtering idols more though given I have 3 pages of those alone.
Btw when you edit your loot filter live you have to force your game to reapply it. Just select another loot filter (no filter by default) then your freshly updated custom filter.
I figured out why the blue item was showing! Hiding all items along with all idols in 1 rule was messing it up. I separated them and it worked perfectly : )
You can just have the rule be "hide" without selecting anything else, and it will hide all items.
I did the exact same thing the other day and seeing you do it too in a video makes me feel better
LE launched at worst time for me, so busy with work but I finally sat down yesterday and grinded to 88 and at endgame now.

@@VinceKully Until they bring on new item, and you forget to show that in your filter.
That item will not be visible.
@@melicalol nice story bro
First guide anyone has made that wasn’t full of obvious things I learned by reading the tutorial. Thanks for the quality content Raxz!

I am in trade faction, so I am trying to make money's
This is not 'endgame tips and tricks' this is crafting advice...
Probably the best video that explains how to use the loot filters in very simple terms.
i played for almost 150 hours in beta and 70 hours in 1.0 and legit im pretty sure i dumped super god roll purple items many time , but will start keeping them for later , thansk for tips man , now that more people are making guide for this game it is easier to understand many aspects of it
Raxx, this video was perfect. I was already saving a bunch of items because of the loot filter I had, but I didn't fully understand why. This video helped me to not only better understand why, but gave me the confidence to find tune my loot filter based on my long term goals (aka, my ass aint playing more than two classes this season, why on earth do I have all this crap showing)
Though if you plan on having at least 1 of your characters be merchant's guild, you should still show all types of exalts.
Great guide, I was smiling and nodding my head when you brought up bricking a rare LP unique with the worst affixes.
You're so right, that Rune of Removal i'm sure has some bs probability linked to Tier that makes it disproportionally go for the Exalted affixes. I cry every time.
It doesn't. It's a misconception of probability. Rune of removal is truly random and not linked to tier levels.
In the case of a prefix you can actually more reliably remove it with an experimental prefix. Instead of worrying about chaos or despair dice rolls, you can just overwrite it, use a research rune to seal the experimental affix, and then have an open slot for whatever you want.
@@Syllarendoesn’t that leave you with 5 total affixes, though?
@TurtleArms yeah but the 5th is sealed, and legendaries won't pull from the sealed affix. This is mainly useful specifically for getting a near perfect exalt with a bad prefix to be a basically perfect one for a legendary merge. Although it's also useful if you actually want the exalt prefix, which can actually be quite powerful in certain legendaries.
The main thing is its a guaranteed 2 shot to get a level 4 or w.e. affix out of the way. When otherwise you would need to chaos or despair and pray, and probably right after removal and pray, with a glyph of insight you have a predetermined affix you can have, and it's a guaranteed 1 shot seal with a research rune(that can be glyph of hoped even) to get it out of the way entirely so you can pick any prefix.
I played over 110 hours the last 2 weeks and wasn't hording a lot, now I'm level 89 and get 1 shot in empowereds 100 corruption. I got res at over 100% on all and do tons of damage but 1 mistake and I get 1 shot by basic mobs. I finally found that you need crit avoidance. I went back to 90 none-empowered monos. After playing for another 10 hours, monos, dungeons for prophecies, etc... I didn't get a single crit avoidance item of any rarety. Out of several dozen uniques 2 or 3 of them were slightly relevant for my class and stats, the rest is throwaway.
The plural of "Staff" is "Staves."
And yeah, I manually go over my exalt drops and make sure they have multiple affixes that are good or make sense together. I make sure at least two affixes make sense together on a 4-affix piece, 1 is enough for one with 3.
BTW, piece of advice - don't make generic exalted tabs, make a tab for each base, and have (uniques/)exalted of that type there. That can show you, "Oh, I'm really lacking exalted daggers/helmets, maybe I should lower my requirements for these." And it has stuff next to one another if you also put the uniques of that type there, for easier comparison.
OMG! I can't thank you enough for this one man. I needed this info badly and now I'll be able to play longer because I won't quit due to not wanting to process all of my loot. This is why you're the GOAT my guy!
This was immensely helpful to me in understanding the end game and how to properly try and get my gear. Thanks Raxx!
It can't be understated how having important a super tight loot filter is.
It will save you soooo much time and energy from having to sort through endless useless items.
This was very useful. I'm not new to ARPGs but I am new to Last Epoch and this has been super helpful.
Wow this is exactly what I needed. Gonna watch this multiple times
This video was so helpful. I wish Maxroll would just have like a legend or a cheat sheet on what their loot filters actually mean. If it exists I have not found it. Just started binging your videos now that I am nearing end game.
Keep the LE content coming Raxx.
This video shows me how much of a noob I really am at these ARPGs. I mean the idea of even using my stash I didnt understand fully. Even now all I have is uniques I cant use in there.
I just shatter everything I can and sell the rest. My loot filter I set up just highlights anything with minion affixes on them and I pick up those items. Its been a long time since D2 I need to catch up and learn how to play these games! Campaign has been super easy until Lagoon that fight was fun but took me like 20 tries so I feel ive been doing alright but no doubt ive been very sub optimal.
Uniques you aren't using can still be useful if you plan on making other characters this cycle. I wouldn't shatter everything, just stuff for rarer affixes, cause nobody has the gold to shatter everything and you'll get enough of the common ones naturally (except early game).
You need to add a second set of hide filters at the top to further refine what you've shown. It would go something like this based on your filter hide all > show cool affixes > hide useless slot / class items > show all uniques.
After your second set of hides you can put another layer for a second class for instance (but they must not share wanted affixes obviously).
For example I have a few tiers of wanted loot for my very engame build (blues are exalted with 2 wanted affixes, yellow 3 affixes, orange are exalted with a t7 wanted affix from a shorter list and red 2 t6+ great affxes) I then hide all the bases/slot/class then recolor in green all I want for my next build.
This ensures my tiered loot is exclusive without hiding any of the wanted stuff for the next build. That's also where you would put your shattering candidates (again, don't search for stuff that could already be show lower or it will get recolored).
This is a very very heavily custom filter down to what bases and affix combinations can roll on specific slots and required care when updating it but it will both show you only want you want to see and everything that you want to see. I usually need a bit more than a full mono to clear out my inventory, depending on if I'm using prophecies for certain uniques
I think one tip you could have added to this to make it a bit better would be to start with a generic skeleton of this loot filter and save it as a template. That way every time you need a new filter you start with 70% of it done and just need to select "duplicate" on the template, rename it to a descriptive name and add in the class/build specific details to it. I suppose if you wanted to go crazy you could also save a sub class template which might cut down on the duplicative work even more.
Imma be honest right here. Diablo 4 was my first game in this genre. You and Wujio were a great help(rogue/ charge barb fan). Last Epoch is....addicting, and tiring. I've been playing for a week already a LOT. I'm going to take a break and just watch u guys for a while.
The only gripes I have with the loot filter is that I would really like to filter all the items by base, and just have a pool of generically good affixes for a build. I don't know which affixes go on a weapon or boots or amulet. And I'm not about to spend an hour in a build planner to make a build just so I can import a filter.
But the issue is, you can't select subbases for multiple types. So my perfect filter kinda needs 50 rules for basic items (any base exalt for slamming which I guess can just be one rule for everything, decent rare item with 2 right modifiers, can later be disabled, godly rare item, exalted with good base) for each slot. Sometimes twice if I don't care if it's a sword or axe. It's a pain to set up.
Also wish there were some better "artificial" groups for affixes. Like let's say I'm doing warlock, I want necrotic damage, there should be a group for "necrotic" that includes damage, damned chance, penetration etc.
I'm seriously considering making a tool for it but the filter syntax is quite ugly, and I don't think there's a publicly available list of affixes/items with their internal IDs I could get.
I really hope they add the ability to pick subtypes for multiple item types at some point. Even with duplicating rules there's still a lot of clicking to get what I want.
Inatead of writing that 10 hour long comment, i wouldve done 3 lootfilters
Honestly another fix for this would be to just let us make a "list" instead of a rule.
That was you can make a rule for each base, then just attach your global "i want all these affixes" list to it.
That way, if you ever edit your list, all the rules with that list attached get updated to include or exclude whatever you changed.
@@Knights_of_the_Nine pretty good idea tbh. If I do end up making a filter tool I'll steal it.
@@Knights_of_the_Nine That's exactly what the loot filter does. Rule 1 - Hide Everything. Rule 2 - Show everything with these affixes, in quantities of 1-2-3-4 and set 4 different recolors. Loot filter done in 5 rules
@@XBezerkerX I'm talking about recolor mostly. I like showing certain affixes as one color on certain bases and another on others.
12:50 pretty sure your bottom line loot filter just hide the 9 idols instead of all items
I love how this game i heaven for hoarders and you can eficiently ditch all that IF you know exactly what you are looking for. Godtier filter
Raxx is an extremely good explainer. This is incredibly helpful and makes a lot of sense.
the reason your helmet was showing in your filter is because implicits are also classed as affixes. I was loosing my mind trying to figure out why am I seeing so many boots even though I have it set as 3 good afixes. It was because of the fire res implicit counting as a good one
Damn. That explains everything!
That's not true. When you make a rule for "affix", the rule only applies to the 1-4 affixes an item can have, never the implicit. If you want a rule to show an item with 3 specific affixes, you have to change the 1 to a 3 where it says "Where at least x of these affixes on the same item". Rax explained the helmet issue in the first comment.
@@stebobibo I've seen his comment but my argument remains. I have tested this extensively when I had an issue with it. If you select your affixes to be 'fire res %' , '+str', '+HP' as well as advanced setting to only show >= 3 afixes. By dropping a pair of boots with 'fire res %' implicit and only 2 out of 3 affixes being '+str' and '+HP' the item will show in the filter.
@@CostelloDamianOk, good to know. I'll keep an eye out for this in game. You should report this bug on the forums if u haven't already.
Best tutorial on making a loot filter i've seen yet! Thanks Raxx!! Took my idol page that was full and reduced it to 10 idols.
One of the best videos i’ve seen on last epoch. You are a very good teacher
Occasionally hold X when something is excluded by your loot filter and check make sure that your loot filter is not excluding important stuff
this is the video that helped me the most since I started playing last epoch. thanks!
I might be stupid,, but you should have clicked on each rule and explain them more in depth, the second last rule I am having troubles making it exactly as it looks on yours.
This was incredibly helpful and full of the exact information I didn't even know I needed. You gained a sub. Keep em coming.
I was scared to make my own filter even after watching multiple videos but after yours I finally did at lvl 98 so I only see stuff that has a chance of being useful
Your videos are always very helpful and many times have a different perspective that's even more valuable. You rock man!
This helps me understand the filter much better, to understand what to filter, Thank you!
Best loot filter guide on YT to this date!
Thank you for this content. I'm thinking I won't go so deep into the game, but it's cool to see others do so.
Thank you so much for the in-depth loot filter guide.
I've been playing LE since it entered early access and still got some stuff out of this!
Thanks Raxx!
I found a exalted shield with T6 21% ALL resistance (not elemental, but ALL), Re did all my gear based of this one single item. I can’t wait to slam it into a unique to hopefully get a godly legendary. Great guide Raxx. Thank you.
better hope the rng doesnt choose the wrong property to slam :)
Great guide. Just hit level 80 and this changed the way i look at exalts.. thank you for saving me
gonna love this loot filter once I get more attuned with all the different stats in the game, big up Rax!
Dude very much appreciate these vids, extremely helpful.
Nice...thx aaa lot. I always did play without the lootfilter...watched every single piece from yellow up (thought ey, no problem I have time...xd)....but it really got out uf hand soooo much loot....so yeah, muuuuch more comfortable with the filter.
Your last rule definitely hasn't selected all items , otherwise the rule description goes to "Hide all items "
Thank you so much! This video finally helped me understand the crafting and how to handle items
Thank you Raxx for reassuring I was doing the right thing. I had been hording uniques and exhaulted gear but was unsure if i needed to do so. Im a "keep it just in case kinda guy" and now i dont feel so bad for the growing amount of loot and stash tabs i have. Great video!!!
God-tier guide as always. Keep ’em coming!
Dude when i played D3 i watched your vids. So glad you're on Last Epoch, it kicks enourmous amounts of ass.
Thanks a lot for the loot filter advanced guide. It fitted perfectly for me.
I WAS SELLING ALL UNWANTED EXALTED ITEMS.
Holy shit I didn't know you need to match the type of items (i.e staff with staff). Thanks Raxx, you are a monster explaining things
Thanks Raxx, learning a lot from your content.
Please keep making these videos, cheers Raxx.
Great video! I've been getting frustrated with my 80 bleed warlock using the maxroll guide and not finding gear I need. He is getting wrecked in empowered and I can't find any of the right gear. Now I have a plan to re-do the filter as my own filter, so I can find what I'm looking for to fix and then progress my build.
can't wait for the video on experimental items. Don't see a huge point to rune of research and glyph of insight (also a bit fused on how to get these got 1). Be nice to know what is good from them and when to use them.
I figured haste and frenzy effect could maybe be good, armor applied to damage over time would be pretty great for most builds, ward per missing health I know is used for low life builds, and maybe ward on kill could maybe be ok for strong clear speed builds. Only time I could see the glyph being good is maybe when you are looking for one of those mods and find a really good base you could use it as a better rune of removal then could seal it to maybe min max forging protentional for a bit better chance at getting a 5 mod exalted.
As soon as you said, "throwing damage, that's a mistake" I almost cried since I've been stacking it 😢
I love it! Please, keep going this way as it helps us a lot. Thanks
Well done Raxx! The loot filter topic is a gem.
Love the explanation of the filter and importance of stash. I have a few stash tabs now, going on like 11 or 12, starting to get expensive, and was starting to question whether or not I should actually be saving as much stuff as I am. Should probably start sorting through and filtering idols more though given I have 3 pages of those alone.
Thanks for the guide, Raxx. I'm going to refine my loot filter and hopefully spend less time looking at bad drops.
Btw when you edit your loot filter live you have to force your game to reapply it. Just select another loot filter (no filter by default) then your freshly updated custom filter.
Awesome content, as always 👏🏻 Everybody needs to see this !
