You don't need a default item filter to make your own. But if you really want.. default.filter can founded in Content.ggpk > Metadata > ItemFilters > default.filter12k rows file.. can be extracted with a VisualGGPK tool.

Thanks !

(You might need to download and install .Net from MicroSoft's website to run VisualGGPK, it will prompt you if so.)

Since then the path seems to have changed a little bit, now it seems to be in :
Content.ggpk > Bundles2 > metadata > itemfilters > default.filter

You'll have to put it in the folder that you can get from
Options => Game => Item Filter => Open folder
which should usually be Users\*user*\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\
(Windows8+ might have it under OneDrive, which might cause additional issues sometimes ?)

Note that you'll have to put it in that "root" folder and not under \OnlineFilters\ for it to show up.

It seems to be a regular UTF-8 text file that can be edited by any text editor.

Specifically for Ruthless, you'll have to rename the extension from .filter to .ruthlessfilter.
And you might also have to replace the lines Hide with Minimal, but the current one doesn't seem to have any Hide lines.

Other useful threads about this :
Adjusting the Default Item Filter => looks like the new Import syntax might be able to do this ?

P.S. Reported as a bug here, also with a discussion about forum moderation that perhaps better belongs there than in a tutorial-like post like this one.
