Diablo II: Resurrected Loot Filter Guide



Text Format
Part 1: In-Game Settings & Hotkeys
Before importing a filter, you must configure how the game displays items. Proper hotkey placement is essential for toggling between your clean filtered view and the "trash" loot.
  • Configure Gameplay Options: Go to Options > Gameplay. Set Show Items to Toggle and Show Items Unfiltered to Hold.
  • Assign Hotkeys: Scroll down to the controls section.
    • Set Show Items to Alt (Filtered view).
    • Set Show Items Unfiltered to Space (Shows everything).

  • The "New Game" Rule: You must manually press your "Show Items" hotkey (Alt) every time you enter a new game to activate the filter.


Part 2: Importing a Pre-made Filter
Using a community-made filter is the fastest way to get started.
  1. Copy the Filter String: Locate a filter code and copy the entire text to your clipboard.
  2. Import to D2R:
    • Open the Loot Filter menu in-game.
    • Click the Down Arrow icon (Import).
    • Select Import from Clipboard and confirm.


Part 3: Customizing Your Filter Rules
Loot filters use a priority system: Show rules always override Hide rules. If an item is shown in any rule, it will appear regardless of other settings.
  1. Filtering Runes:
    • To hide "Lower" runes, go to Items -> Runes section.
    • Uncheck low-tier runes you no longer need.
    • Ensure high-value runes or specific crafting runes (like Ral/Amn) remain checked.

  2. Hunting Specific Bases (e.g., Superior Lance):
    • Go to the Superior Items rule and click Edit.
    • Navigate to the specific weapon type (e.g., Spears > Lance).
    • Enable the specific item for Normal, Socketed, and Ethereal versions to ensure it highlights when it drops.


Part 4: Using the Unfiltered View
There are times when you want to see "hidden" items.
  • The Emergency Key: Hold your Spacebar (Unfiltered) to instantly see every item on the ground, including gray/white items and potions that your filter normally hides.
  • Standard Loop: Most players keep the filter toggled ON (Alt) and use the map (Tab) when entering a new game.

Hey - question for ya.

If I wanted to make it so I only saw Eth Rare Weapons can I do that (instead of all the rares)? I was trying to achieve it but was unsuccessful.

Sadly there is no options to only do eth versions. Really missing that as possiblity as well.

i also wish the filters killed the sound of the item dropping
i hear gems drop, but cant find them since ive filtered them out and still getting used to the change... haha

it would be also sweet to see a setting that allows the filter to show anything missing from your chronicle.

Yes would be a fantastic feature.

For now I have added Chronicle rules in the loot filter. But you have to check of the items manually.

Ethereal items in the loot filter may give an unfair advantage to veterans at clicking them, perhaps [possibly the reason it isn't in there to begin with? But most likely just due to the fact that one Shouldn't know unless they check/no actual Meta-analysis from their end].
I would, personally (casual player's perspective), rather not know if it is eth. It takes a split second to check and chuck. To me, it's the same "thrill" as identifying an item and Then you also get to identify it. Two for the price of one. Sadly, they're almost always garbage unless you enjoy doing playthroughs. A bit like Looter I think that's what his name is (on youtube) or speedrunners. I think we should be given a method to reroll 1 modifier on items at a cost. Bots would struggle to code for keeping all the different combos and players would feel rewarded to pick them up again (and fit their builds). May be making it so that rerolling an item's chosen modifier has a 20% chance to make it ethereal, too would make this feel great. Along with making the rerolls cost more every attempt... Say: 1extra soh per roll (cham rune+soh for a chance to be eth?/this would make it more reasonable for players to want to cube 2x jahs for it. Something I don't think anyone should ever do atm xD). And Makes the item Boa?. Feel free to take this idea or any other found on my topic. I wasn't against a Loot filter, but I didn't advocate for one. I am, however, pleasantly surprised.

Gl on your d2-Tuber endeavor!
