Are you confused how loot filters work in Last Epoch? Well, this guide is for you. Here, we will be showing you how to utilize the usage of loot filters in the game.
The Money Shot
The Strategy
In simple terms, loot filters can be overwhelming, but Last Epoch has an awesome one. It’s like trying not to mess up, but you end up messing up pretty bad anyway.
Basically, the filter hides stuff you don’t need, showing only the good stuff like special items.
- You don’t need to bother selling stuff for gold. Just keep moving forward, and you’ll make enough gold along the way.
- Plus, you don’t waste time sorting through junk. Cool, right?
At the top, it shows what you want (like mage stuff for me), and at the bottom, it hides what you don’t need. Easy peasy.
Also, we display all the “Personal” affixes. I’m not exactly sure what they are, but they sound cool and mysterious, so why not keep an eye out for them?
The heart of it all lies in the middle.
Filter your items based on the affixes that matter to you, using a simple color code to indicate how many affixes an item has. At the start of the game, when you’re just exploring without needing a detailed guide, you might have a broad range of affixes in your filter. But as you play more, you’ll refine what you’re looking for.
To adjust your affix preferences, remove everything in the middle except the yellow (or lowest) tier. Update the affixes, then duplicate it and reset the colors to apply the same affix list to the other tiers. (If this isn’t clear, let me know in the comments, and I’ll explain it better).
Sell the drops you don’t need to get shards for the affixes you’re interested in. As you level up and find better drops, salvaging all the yellow drops will drain your funds or fill up your inventory quickly.
- Take this as your cue to start fine-tuning your loot filter further.
- Trim down the shown item rarities, especially common items once your equipment slots are filled and magic items shortly after.
- Remove the yellow affix tier (and eventually orange when you progress far enough), focusing only on red and purple drops.
- Narrow down your search to those specific affixes and gear types you’re seeking.
The final part is that white filter.
This part simply focuses on highlighting the exalted affix drops that are important to you (tier 6 & 7 affixes) so you’ll notice them and grab them for legendary crafting.
As you progress to the late game, you can customize the middle set of filters for each particular item you’re farming for. For example, you can create filters for different types of gloves and specify the affixes you’re looking for on each. Then do the same for your amulet and other items.
Any questions? Understand? Great.
