What are Loot Filters in Last Epoch?

Loot filters are essentially an automated way to sort through loot and highlight which ones are worth keeping. It cuts out a lot of the on-screen clutter associated with killing tons of mobs at once. Options allow you to hide items that are not good for your class, show items with specific base types, and always show unique and set items. You can choose different filter classes and identifying colors for each item that meets your particular criteria. 

In short, loot filters are an easy way to tell which items are suitable for your character quickly. Inventory space is limited, and your time is precious, so loot filters are a must for any serious player who doesn’t want to spend hours sifting through low-quality rares. Basic loot filters are also suitable for casual players to start with and expand on as they become more familiar with Last Epoch and learn what kind of items are worth it.
