How to Customize FilterBlade Loot Filter in PoE 2

FilterBlade's strength lies in its easy customization without code editing.

Using the Customize Tab

The "Customize" tab allows granular control over individual item drops. Search for an item (e.g., "Divine Orb") to access its customization options, including visual and auditory previews.
