The Loot Filter interface might appear complex, and creating a Loot Filter is not an intuitive process, no doubt about that. But there’s no need to feel overwhelmed. Last Epoch players have created many optimized Loot Filters. All you need to do is learn how to import them.

First, find a filter you want to import into your game. You can find these filters on various websites and forums. But each of these websites, such as Maxroll and Last Epoch Tools, has its own preferred method of handling \Imports, with most relying on both .XML files and copying and pasting the filter elements directly from the website into your game.

Once you’ve found your desired loot filter, download the .XML file from the website and save it on your PC.

The process of importing your downloaded Loot Filter begins with opening the Loot Filters section. Accessing it is as simple as pressing Shift + F. Alternatively, you can navigate to the settings and select the Interface menu to open the Loot Filter management system. From here, press the + icon and then the “Open Filter Folder” option. Now, copy and paste the downloaded .XML file into the folder.

Another method is to copy the filter as text, an option usually provided on these websites. After copying the text, go to your Loot Filters menu in the game and click on the “Paste Clipboard Contents” button. If the copied Loot Filter is valid, it will be successfully imported and ready for use. Once your filter is entered into your game, you can also edit and fine-tune it to your liking.
