Thank you.
So the first step of making my base loot filter alot more strict, would be hiding base types that you have absolutely no interest in using. For example, specific weapon types.
So if we assume you are playing a mage, you will most likely want a Wand + Catalyst or a 2H Staff. In that case you could hide all other weapon types you are not using.
I did put a small explanation here:
The hyperlink will guide you to a 2 image album that show you how i did hide wands and catalysts.
It’s a “Hide → Item Type → Select all undesired weapon types” Rule.
You do need to adapt for your desired weapon types of course.
Put that hide rule at the top, just below the show Unique/Set/Exalted Items Rule.
This is already a big improvement, to show less loot overall.
If you are not interested in all class affixes of your class you could already remove undesired class-specific affixes from my recolor rule.
You can also add a affix tier condition to the existing rule.
To go one step further, you can then drag that rule at the very bottom, so you only see endgame bases with those class-affixes.
Here are all the steps as images, these steps can be applied to other classes too of course, with their respective class gear affix rules.
Now you could also create a rule for non-class specific affixes. This rule can also have a affix tier condition. Just create a “Recolor” rule with affix condition and set any affixes and tiers you desire.
I would also put this rule at the very bottom, so only the endgame bases get recolored.
All of this would not filter weapons by affixes yet, since the show rule for all the weapon base types are at the top of the filter.
I suggest you check out my Loot Filter Guide and try to understand all the stuff i explained here and in that guide.
If you still need more help with filtering even more(also the weapons). Feel free to come back here and ask.
But once you understood how the loot filter works, it becoems less and less daunting and you can do your own stuff pretty quickly.
Cheers
