Changelog
4.2.0 (Work in Progress)
Added highlighting for the various Blight Oils.
Added highlighting for the new "Convoking Wand".
Updated the list of Chance Orb bases.
Added new Divination Cards to their approriate blocks. This is optional, new Divination Cards will always be shown.
(Re)added a chisel recipe section to low and moderate strictness versions.
4.1.3
Updated/reworked the gem section.
4.1.2
Various visual improvements.
The moderate stricness version now only hides Transmutation and Alteration Shards. The remaining shards are handled by higher stricness versions.
4.1.1
Fixed a typo that prevented the filter from getting loaded.
4.1.0
Added support for Incubators.
Added highlighting for Legion Splinters and Timeless Jewels.
Updated the list of Chance Orb bases.
Added new Divination Cards to their approriate blocks. This is optional, new Divination Cards will always be shown.
4.0.5
Low red tier maps (T11 - 13) now have a permanent effect (beam) until T13. This is closer to the behavior for white and yellow maps, which retain their permanent beam until T5 and T10 respectively.
The low strictness version now displays white jewellery until level 75 (instead of 67).
Added several Divination Cards to the "Low Value" block. This block is hidden in the high strictness version and above.
Adjusted the itemlevel restriction for Chromatic Orb items in the low and moderate strictness versions.
Added section and block IDs. Block IDs will eventually be replaced by descriptions and toggles.
4.0.4
Items with a Labyrinth Enchantment will now be highlighted.
This version is based on a new build system. It makes it easier to maintain the filter and its subversions as well as resolving some of the issues a pure toggle based customization system entails.
3.6.0
Support for fractured and synthesised items has been added.
Added new items that were introduced with the "Legacy" league.
Reduced the dropsound volume for medium and high tier maps slightly.
Removed "Prophecy Wand", "Deicide Mask" and "Sapphire Flask" from the chance section. Added "Leather Belt" to the chance section.
Warband items are now hidden by default again due to the identified sextant mod. Press "Alt" after killing a warband member and check for items with a blue border.
[Meta] Added a "map version" of the filter. It shows a lot less normal and magic items. An extremely endgame oriented version will follow during the league.
Improved the endgame section. It will now show less items highlighted in a prominent way and significantly less normal and magic weapons unless they are deemed pickup worthy. Also, toggles should be easier to use with Filtration now.
Warband items are now shown by default. Should you use Cloak of Tawm'r Isley (Found Magic Items drop Identified), it's recommended to toggle the warbands blocks to hide again.
Exalted, Eternal and Divine Orbs will now visually stand out more. Their dropsound volume has been reduced slightly.
Added new items that were introduced with the "Breach" league.
Maps have had their dropsound slightly reduced and retain their original border. Red maps are highlighted by a slightly brighter textcolor. (I'm not quite happy with the map section yet.)
Fixed a bug that hid the "Offering to the Goddess". (thanks D1Gz, ata, EntropyMu and Truth)
Display "Eber's Key", "Yriel's Key", "Inya's Key" and "Volkuur's Key" as quest items to bring them in line with how the other labyrinth key/trinket related items are shown.
Added low volume dropsounds for medium currency and 6 socketed items. The feedback has been positive for the most part. The single negative feedback (too many currency sounds in full party speed rotations) has been withdrawn after getting used to it.
Labyrinth keys and utility items will now appear as quest items.
Added Spike-Point Arrow Quiver to the category of items that receive borders based on zone and itemlevel.
Updated the customization section to reflect changes to other sections.
DropOnly gems now have the same border as gems with 10% or more quality. If this turns out to be irritating, I'll look for another solution.
Updated the list of valuable uniques and divination cards. The next version (scheduled for next league) will likely include highlights for challenge related divination cards.
Updated the Animate Weapon section. Best build I've ever played ;)
Added new Divination Cards to their approriate blocks. This is optional, new Divination Cards will always be shown.
Adjusted the requirements for items that have five linked sockets (5Ls) to be highlighted. Body Armours are always highlighted. Bows and Staves need an itemlevel of 64 and 55 or higher respectively. Anything not matching the requirements is still highlighted, but without an increased font size and alert sound.
Slightly reduced the border opacity for Chromatic Orb recipe items.
Removed the generic "Hide" statement at the end of the filter as it isn't needed anymore. This ensures that new items will always be shown.
Added toggles for "Link Exceptions" and "Obsolete Gear". These are considered advanced (indicated by the ~ sign in the title) and you will need to enable "Advanced Mode" in Filtration should you wish to use them.
Updated to reflect the changes of "Spiked Shields, the Alloyed, Burnished and Alder Spike Shields are now Spiked Shields". Unfortunately this change wasn't part of the patch notes that were available prior to the change.
Removed the duplicate entry for "Blessed Orb" from the currency section. (thanks StrikeQ)
The toggle "#Rares - Staves, Wands & Quivers" is now considered advanced and not displayed by default.
Removed "Fleshripper" from the list of crafting bases as it's automatically included being the Tier 1 two hand axe. (thanks therestless)
Moved "Map Fragments" into their own block inside the map section.
Renamed "Fossilized Spirit Shield" to "Fossilised Spirit Shield" in preparation for Path of Exile Patch 2.0.2.
Improved toggles for normal and magic jewelry.
2.0
Reduced the line count by approximately 30%.
Obsolete items are now hidden earlier. The majority of items now only traverse ~10% of the filter resulting in greatly improved processing speed.
Extended the "High Itemlevel Rare" section with 83+ weapons and 84+ Armour & Jewelry. Theme support now allows to distinguish between T1 and Craft basetypes.
Added another option/toggle to control whether an item is to be shown or hidden. It is now possible to have no socket requirement, require 3/4 sockets (1hand weapons and shields and 2hand weapons and armour respectively) or require the sockets to be linked. The new defaults can be found in the initial post.
Added an option to distinguish between Normal and Magic endgame items through toggles.
Added highlighting for normal and magic 83+ weapons and 84+ armour/jewelry.
Added AlertSounds for valuable Divination Cards.
The list of craft bases has been updated to include more commonly used basetypes. (thanks Alexlulz)
Added another block to the Chromatic Orb Recipe section for 1x4 items. (thanks nugiyen)
Custimization toggles in the rare Chromatic Orb Recipe section are now considered "advanced". You will need to switch to "Advanced Mode" in Filtration in order to use them as changes to it may hide rares.
Removed the Animate Weapon Show/Hide toggle as you only ever want to enable or disable the block.
Added Desert Brigandine (Lightning Coil) to the chance and valuable unique section.
Lowlevel maps will now appear in the default fontsize. The medium map tier (74 - 78) now has a slightly bigger fontsize. (thanks matkod)
Increased the font size from 42 to the maximum of 45 for very valuable items.
Added more Divination Cards to their appropriate blocks.
Reworked the chance section. By default less items receive the unique chance border. Preveiously shown and newly added basetypes are still in the filter and can be enabled using Filtration. (thanks Vods)
Normal Jewelery is now highlighted at itemlevel 75+ (down from 77+).
Magic Jewelery at itemlevel 75+ is now set to "Hide" by default. It can be set to "Show" using the appropriate toggle.
Added a separate block for normal and magic Jewelery with an itemlevel below 68. (thanks thevdende)
Several sections have been reordered. Chance, Chisel and Chromatic Orb Recipe sections are now located before the Progression section to always highlight these items.
Fixed a bug that always hid medium Life and Mana flasks.
Fixed a bug that only showed Q10+ Flasks for certain basetypes.
Extended Warbands support by adding a new block for magic weapons. The Warbands section is now disabled by default and needs to be enabled using Filtration. Use "Alt" (Item highlight keybinding) to highlight potential basetypes after killing a Warband.
Fixed a bug that added the wrong theme support tag to certain items.
Added further theme support tags throughout the filter.
Reworked AlertSounds in regards to which sound to play and in what volume.
Show 3/4L normal and magic Armour a little longer while leveling.
Added a separate currency block for "Blessed Orb", "Orb of Fusing" and "Orb of Regret" to make it easier to apply individual highlighting. (thanks Umbralforce, nrgdallas, Lethalres & moldyredditor)
Separated "Best BaseType for Zone" theme comments into "Armour" and "Weapons" to allow even more fine grained theme creating.
Uniques are now only highlighted if they are very very valuable (~10ex+). The rest is displayed like regular uniques. (thanks flzkpp & Dassa73)
Added a Warbands section. Press "Alt" (Highlight items and objects key) to show hidden items. Those that have the potential for a Warbands mod (Helmets, Gloves and Boots) will have a blue border.
Reworked the Gems section. Quality, Vaal and drop only gems appear in the default fontsize and any gems not matching those categories appear slightly smaller. (thanks matkod)
Reworked how rares are displayed/highlighted. See this post for more details and screenshots.
Divination Cards are now displayed using their native textcolor. (thanks matkod)
1.0.4
Fixed an issue that made very valuable uniques appear using the currency textcolor. (thanks Dassa73)
1.0.3
Restored the "Thrusting One Hand Swords" and "Stackable Currency" classes after GGG fixed the server side issue (2.0.0b Patch Notes).
Fixed an issue that made white lowlevel flasks appear as magic and the other way around.
1.0.2
Restored "Thrusting One Hand Swords".
Fixed an issue that made average uniques appear using the currency textcolor. (thanks tsHavok, Williwunda & fAnts)
1.0.1
Hotfix for an issue on GGG's side.
Removed "Thrusting One Hand Swords" and "Stackable Currency" due to the bug mentioned above.
Removed the "Valuable Unique" subsection as it would need too many frequent updates for too little benefits. (thanks flzkpp)
Adjusted the Map section to reflect actual tiers (68 - 73; 74 - 78; 79+). (thanks revolct)
Removed white Gavels from the Chisel Recipe section (magic and rares with 12/16 quality are still shown) to allow the Chance section to take precedence.
1.0
Public Release for PoE 2.0 (The Awakening)
Pictures
So how much more overview does it offer?
Maps
Default fontsize for lower level maps. (68-72 / white maps)
Slightly larger fontsize and dropsounds for medium level maps. (73-77 / yellow maps)
Highlight textcolor and larger font size for red maps. (78+ / red maps)
Currency
Different tiers for currency. Mirrors and Albino Feathers really stand out.
High ItemLevel Rares
Red border + orange fontcolor = 84+
Red border + yellow fontcolor = 79+
Yellow border = Best BaseType for the zone you are in
Random rare (no border) means a better basetype is available based on the zone level.
Links/Sockets
6Ls (other than Tabula) are very rare and thus are highlighted by an uncommon font and border color as well as a larger font size.
5Ls receive the same border and a not as large a font size, no change in font color.
6Ss receive the same border and no change in text size or color.
Uniques
Divination Cards
Three different highlights/tiers.
Chisel Recipe
Gems
Border for quality 10+ and droponly gems. Empower / Enlighten / Enhance also has a low volume dropsound.
Jewels / Flasks
... and much more, for which I don't have pictures yet :)
Versions
This section is work in progress, as the different strictness levels are not fully defined/implemented yet. If you think something is hidden too early, or shown too long, let me know! Please include your reasoning.
There are currently 5 base versions, reflecting increasing strictness levels. The stricter a filter is, the less items are shown.
Low:
Recommended for SSF or the very first hours/days of a new league. Includes low itemlevel bases that genereally become undesirable very soon, but might be useful early on.
Moderate:
Parent Filter: "Low"
Differences to parent filter:
Hides rare items with a DropLevel below or equal to 45 and an ItemLevel above or equal to 60.
Hides very low tier Divination Cards. Examples: The Carrion Crow, Turn the Other Cheek
Leveling and Progression sections stop highlighting/displaying items earlier.
Hides low itemlevel normal and magic jewellery.
High:
Parent Filter: "Moderate"
Differences to parent filter:
Hides Wisdom and Portal Scrolls.
Hides rare items with a DropLevel below or equal to 60 and an ItemLevel above or equal to 60.
Hides T2 (<=85) normal and magic bases.
Doesn't highlight Chisel Recipe items.
Requires Leveling and Progression items to be linked earlier in order to be highlighted/displayed.
Displays Q10+ and Utility Flasks until itemlevel 78. Beyond that Q20 only.
White Maps have no DropSound, but retain their Minimap Icon.
Hides normal skill gems without quality.
Hides low tier Divination Cards. Examples: Struck by Lightning, The Incantation, The King's Blade, The Lunaris Priestess, The Scholar, Thunderous Skies
Chromatic Orb recipe items are highlighted/displayed until itemlevel 75 (instead of 81).
Doesn't highlight 5Ls.
Hides Utility and medium quality flasks.
Hides undesired T1 craft bases.
Hides undesired Vaal Gems.
Hides low itemlevel normal and magic Jewels.
Hides significantly more rare items.
Tight:
Parent Filter: "Very High"

Hides Flasks with high quality.
Hides crafting bases.
Hides white/low tier maps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which editor should I use to edit the file?
I recommend Notepad++.
How do I add a BaseType to the Chance section?
Open the file and search for "### Chance", that will get you to the chance section. Copy one of the existing blocks and replace the BaseType with the one you would like to add.
Why is this better than the other filters?
I don't know if it's better than the others for you. That depends on your personal requirements. The concept of "better" or "best" is highly subjective. Know what you need/want and match against that. Then you found your personal best filter.
Why are 3L Quartz Sceptre highlighted? / I found a bug. A chromatic Quartz or Crystal Sceptre isn't highlighted as a RGB item.
Many people use 3L Quartz Sceptre for leveling. There's a cheap recipe that gives +1 to lightning/cold/fire gems which makes it a very good weapon early on for a variety of skills (Fire Trap, Flame Totem, Lightning Tendrils etc.).
Quartz Sceptre are highlighted by a red border until level 25. Between 25 and 51 they are simply displayed without any highlighting as they might still be useful.
The section that deals with these "Leveling Specials" is located above the RGB section in the filter, meaning it takes precedence and this sometimes causes confusion if the Sceptre in question has a chromatic linking. Once you're in a zonelevel above 51, they will be shown as chromatic items again.
Do you have a paypal account? Can I donate something for your effort?
I don't like the company for a whole lot of reasons so I try to avoid using it where I can.
I really do appreciate the thought, though. If you feel like donating anyway, consider donating to a charity and let me know. That would certainly warm my heart :)
Some people donated Reddit Gold, which I also very much enjoy(ed).
Thank you
Know this: Without all your feedback this wouldn't be half as neat as I think it is :) So thanks a lot! And thanks again to GGG for making this possible:
Should I have forgotten anyone, please let me know!
Crafting
This is not related to the filter (craft bases etc.), but to ingame crafts through the Crafting Bench.
If you need a sort of trustworthy source, feel free to pm me ingame.
Features / Ideas
One filter to cover everything from leveling to racing and endgame content without compromise.
Sane defaults while offering all the options in the world for those that like to customize.
Be easy on the eyes, default colors look nice so let's use them where we can.
Smooth integration, no learning period, be intuitive.
Highlight stuff that is worth highlighting. Most of the items are hidden anyway, so there's no need to go over board.
More specific
Highlight/Show:
really rare items (Mirror, Fishing Rod, ...) in stark colors
6L, 5L, 6S
Chromatics with a slight green border
Rare currency (Eternal, Exalt, Divine)
Gems with 10+/20 quality by adding a border in the default gem color
Maps by Tier (1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16)
Prefered chaos/regal recipe items
Rare jewellery (rings, amulets, belts) with a rare border
3L Quartz / Crystal Sceptre with a stark red border during lvling
Quality Flasks in a slightly brighter font
T1/2/3 Armour (normal/magic)
T1/2/3 Weapons (normal/magic)
Highest available rare item tier based on zone level with a rare bordercolor
Rare T1/2/3 Armour, Weapons and crafting bases
Change behavior based on zone level
During leveling you will see less and less items as you progress. Generally items are shown as long as they are appropriate for the current zone.
Have fun, feedback welcome!

Can't reproduce the error. If I download the file and safe it as oftrta_muldini_v0.7b.filter in my PoE folder, it loads without error.
You can try to remove the three blocks for Maelström Staff around the line number you mentioned. If I find out what's causiung this I'll upload a new version.

I do question the validity of showing 'all' quality items until 75+... it's all about the space, so even at low levels I'm only looking at 1x3 and 2x2 items and pots. I'm not really interested in tower shields and longbows and 2h weapons - they're just too large, even at low level.
I'm not yet sure if I want to have a base threshold on item quality, however, since even sub-5 quality can balance out a 40 point lot.
You know that you can simply make 1 role for this 200 items list? and save like 200 lines?...
It's not the same as generating a list that says "Show this BaseType until two higher BaseTypes of the same class are available". Yours would be an approximation. That is unless all BaseTypes of different classes have the same DropLevel, which I doubt.

Thank you for testing and providing feedback. I really appreciate it.
Could you elaborate on the "all quality items" part? I believe only certain items that have quality are shown unless they have 20% quality. If you mean thatone then I agree, ideas on how to improve that block?
