Am I too stupid to configure loot filter?

For some reason I am not able to get my loot filter to highlight this amulet by selecting cast speed, even though it has cast speed as a stat. 2024-02-13 21-52-30

it works with the other stat (fire damage) though. Noticed because I wanted this color to appear when both stats are preset but realized it had both stats just by coincidence.

The amulet doens’t have a cast speed AFFIX, it has a cast speed IMPLICIT. Loot filter doesn’t check the implicits.

Woa wtf so I can not set it to check those implicits too? They would just be ignored all the time? Man I must have missed loads of items

You can check the implicits by setting the item type/subtype into your rule.

If I add a condition for item type, the subtypes are greyed out - even when every type is selected https://i.imgur.com/bLPPRjs.png

You can only choose subtypes if you only select one type.

So do I then have to create an own rule for every single item type there is if I want this to happen for every item? I basically only want items to be recolored when they have at least 2 of those specific stats I select - no matter if implicit or affix.

In the same rule I can add the item type condition only once so I can only select amulet item type https://i.imgur.com/mXwx5Zr.jpeg

Yes, you need to make one rule per gear slot if you want to also control the implicits. But keep in mind that some affixes only show on some item types and not others, so you should check that as well, in case you’re expecting an affix to drop in an item that doesn’t have it.

EDIT: In your case you would actually need 2 rules for amulets: one for the ones that have the implicit you want + the other affix you want, and another for the other types of amulet that don’t have an implicit you’re looking for but that have cast speed as an affix + the other affix you want.

What was that song btw?

Thanks for the reply but that sounds like a very complicated system.

Why not simply be able to select bonuses overall (stop deciding between affix + implicit) so you can select from those instead? Unfortunate.

Usually, I make a line that emphasize (put names in capital letters) the bases that I like and chase; so it’s not messing my color-code.

The lootfilter is also an easy way to check all the implicits of an item type. Do I want a sword or an axe… and which subtype is better for me ? Shift-F (instead of going to lastepochtools website) and I quickly have an overview.

I expect because they’re different objects inside the game. I also expect it might be possible to do at some point. The devs have said before that they want to expand the loot filter, we just don’t know exactly what or when.

Until then, it’s not that hard to make a filter like that. Most of mine are actually done that way: I look at the subtypes I want and the affixes they can have and only show those with 2+ affixes I want. Each gear slot (except for slots with uniques) + idols + stuff to shatter + T7 + 2xT6 is about 20-30 rules at most. Unless I’m really early game, I won’t pick bases I don’t want.

I tend to be lazy with my filters and just focus on the affixes I want over ALL gear types, then I can manually decide if I want the base it drops with. If nothing else, it’s shatter fodder and I have like 6 rules I generally play with across the board this way.

Yes, that is also a valid option. That’s what I like about the loot filter EHG created, it’s very flexible. You can be as loose or as strict with it as you want. Does it check everything? No. Could it be improved? Yes (and it will). Does it work fine the way it is now for what you need? Yes.

It doesn’t let you create a filter where everything you see on the ground is what you want to pick up, like in PoE. And that’s on purpose. But it does let you hide the vast majority of stuff you don’t want, if you want to make the filter that way.

Yeah the loot filter in this game is fantastic. I originally started the same was as OP and wanted to get more specific, but found that I started working against myself more often than not. Sure, I can ignore bone amulets because I am set on phys/necrotic resist, until I change those pieces out later on from some other upgrade.

What I really like about keeping it simple (for me) is I can literally copy the same filter to a new one, change the affixes, and be up and running on a new character in like 2 minutes.

Check some YT Guides. They are nice and “easy” to understand.
Just make sure you pause it and take it step by step.
You´ll get it.
