Hey Mazen, right now my filter does not hide anything really other then super low base items and is more focused on highlighting certain things.
Runes of Havoc and Redemption are only useful on Exalted Items and these are not filtered out at all anyway.
I also have a few changes planned, but accomodating for all the possible use cases for the new Runes is a very difficult task without making the filter to complicated and most importatly, don’t require too much user input to be functional.
I am aware of the use cases of these new runes and how you can work the odds in your favor, but it doesn’t really change much about my Loot Fitlers to be honest.
I think he means there should be a rule to highlight all the rarer affixes, even if they’re low tier.
But then, I’m not really sure, but I suppose the rarer affixes might be the class specific ones, and those are highlighted aready anyways… But idk.
But if it’s not the case, and if there are super rare affixes that aren’t class specific, it could be useful and would only take 1 rune slot to make it work… Maybe simply recolor those affixes and put it right below the exalted rules?
Yeah, after reading the whole reddit thread he shared, I figured the same. This specific suggestion have nothing to do with the Havoc runes, as that entire guide revolves around finding a Tier 7 first, so those are a given with your filter already.
There’s something that might be worth considering to add a rule for, though. Not specifically suggesting to add it to your filters, just saying as general good piece of knowledge to have.
Runes of Havoc are very powerful crafting tools, that can completely turn a trash item into a godly one. But I don’t know if would be feasible, or how much effort it would take you to do. Dunno if it would take a rule for each class or if a more broad general rule would suffice.
Anyways, in that guide, he teaches that the most optimal way of working with a Rune of Havoc is by starting off with a 7-1-1-1 (or 10 less total affixes) item. So having a rule like this could be a huge improvement on a filter for anyone trying to take advantage of said runes.
Yes that is one of the things I am still thinking about if and how I would implement that.
Because a natural T10 with T7 would directly work. A T7 with T1 T1 woudl work with a rune of discovery.
But a T7 with T2 T2 and empty affix slot would just work as well, you just need to craft twice and hope no crit happens.
But those are incomaptible with one singular rule, so this would lead to making multiple rules for one specific crafting case, which needs explaining. And having a rule that needs in-depth explanations is not useful for the most users that are using my Filter anyway.
This is the eternal struggle of a One-Size-Fits all format, you simply can’t do it. I can only try to get as close as possible while remaining useful without any further setup requriements.
This allows filtering for multiple different Uniques with ONE SINGLE RULE.
This a huge and will allow me to highlight a couple of the very very rare uniques without needing to sacrifice other rules.
A update for my filters will come within the next few days.
Condition: Unique
And then select from a list of uniques. The top contenders for this would be Ravenous Void (Gloves), Orian’s Eye(Amulet) and Red Ring of Atlaria (Ring).
Sure but for new players it would be cool if this was set up from the start. They dont know whats rare, usefull etc.
Me? I am just too lazy… and usually watch every item that goes thrrouuu… which I am a bit tired now after 1.2 in cof. It drops simply too much items! Nerf would be much welcome… but u know… people would cry
Added a rule to highlight very rare Uniques. The Current List of all Uniques that I put in this rule is as follows: Ravenous Void, Red Ring of Atlaria, Orian’s Eye, Jungle Queen’s Chaps of Holding, Omnividence, Bastion of Honour, Paranoia, Oceareon, Salt the Wound and Death’s Embrace
Feel free to give me feedback on this, because I have to draw the line somewhere and I know some of these are way more exciting then others because Rarity does not equal power or popularity.
Adjusted the Rule for Uniques that you want to stand out. Rule is still disabled by default but just needs to be enabled and all Uniques you want to see highlighted need to be selected.
Added a Highlight Rule for Hybrid Health (one of the rarest affixes in the game, that is also very strong and popular)
I have completely updated and reviewed the OG post with more up to date screenshots and explanations of what the filter actually does
Other changes:
Merged Personal and Champion Items into one rule. Personal Affixes stop dropping later in the game and this is purely for saving an unncessary rule
Removed some of the generic Hide Low Level Base Type rule. This will lead to a slightly worse filtering early game, but offers more rules to be used for customization.
Added Heartseeker Affixes to the rogue gear affix rules
Added a new optional rule that needs to be selected and adjusted to hide weapon types you don’t want to see
Removed the optional Rule to Show All Class-Specific Relics
Updated optional recolor rules for alts with some missing affixes
You should also have a boss uniques rule. Any unique with random drop:Rare or higher should be concidered as rare enough(see the item database).
Also when looking at your mage filter, there is a TON of hide rules for bases at the boitom of the filter, I understand the point is to save us some time when making the filter, but it ends up being almost the maximum number of rules
Also mage filter is missing hide normal/magic/rare/set/unique as the last rule.
Apon looking at your updated filter, with rare uniques. I notice that boss uniques are not listed, this means that if I hid all uniques that were not “very rare” I would not see the boss uniques. Also the only legendary show rule is the same rule as the show uniques/sets
Also no hide common/magic/rare at end of filter, will see too many useless items
