A Basic Guide on how Loot Filter works and how to set up your own Loot Filter

General
21

Just by seeing the rules i can only guess.

Your first rule seems to be a multiple condition rule: Item Rarity: Unique, Set, Exalted + Item Type: Idol

If you put multiple conditions in a rule an Item must match all conditions.

So you need to split the rule into 2 seperate rules.
One rule for Item Rarity and one rule for item types.

22

Youā€™re saying to split the rarity and the idols, not that each rarity needs its own rule, right?
Tomorrow Iā€™ll give it a go.

Thanks.

Yes.

To make you understand why your first rule is not working at all: It will only match Idols with an rarity of Unique/Set/Exalted, which do not exist in the first place.

And since none of the other rules, except the level requirement rule match with the unique and idol, that one hides them, when activated.

You need one rule to recolor/show Unique/Set/Exalted
And another rule to recolor/show the types of idols you want to see.

I tried it and it worked, I obviously did not understand the AND/OR relationships between the rules.

25

You mean conditions C=

All conditions within one given rule are AND

But glad it worked.

hm, I might have made a mistake in the translationā€¦ ops :stuck_out_tongue:

Reading your guide and looking at the example, Iā€™m a little confused as to how the hide works for class specific items with the ordering. I would expect this rule to hide idols not specific to my class, yet I can see them. Also in your example, does the hide rule take precedent over the recolour rule for other class specific items?

28

This sounds strange.

You did use the example filter provided by me in the OP?

I created this guide before rogue was released, mabye you only see rogue specific idols? Those are not included in the hide rule, since it only hides Acolyte, Primalist and Mage specific items.
Also the 1 and 2 slot idols are not class specific, if you maybe refering to them still being shown.

Yes, since the hide rule is above the recolor rules, every item that gets hidden by the hide rule will not get matched against any rule below that.

If you still having issues or something is not clear, just try to give me some more detailed explanation and we will figure it out.

So I made a dumb mistake. Playing a rogue, and only have sentinel idols in my stash, I tested with that. Not connecting the dots that your filter was for showing sentinel items.

If you still having issues or something is not clear, just try to give me some more detailed explanation and we will figure it out.

Iā€™d like to make sure I understand the point of the example. Rule 3 hides all items that are marked or acolyte and other classes. Rules 7 and 8 recolour items from other classes for collecting purposes. If I want to use rules 7 and 8, should i have to uncheck rule 3?

Ok, glad to hear you could solve your issue.

Regarding the recolor rule for other classes:
You just spotted a major flaw there. We need to rearrange the rule order to make this work properly.

I am genuiely sorry for that! This is actually really embarassing.

Sadly i canā€™t change the OP currently, because of the new forums restriction, hopefully i will be able to do that soon.

This is how it should look like:
