Upcoming PoE1 Feature: Endgame Auto-Adjuster
This is the big one.Since we added the PoE2 auto-adjuster we received 2 questions without end:When will this be added to PoE1When will this be available for the endgame.Well the answer to both is: 3.27 league launch.In this post I want to talk about this feature in detail. This auto-adjust button will be enabled latest on Friday.Upon clicking it, you'll get this menu:Here you can select the time of auto-adjusted you want to use.It's important to note that those 2 are completely separate. So you can level with one build and then use a di...

New FilterBlade background (0.3 PoE2) - Abyss
The wallpaper for the upcoming league!I didn't feel like the curent league has a noteworthy representable character (the Kaom Jr. and Yama the white were notable mentions), so we decided to go for some classic PoE2 classes/ascendancies as the build changes seem to be the big thing!Do you like it? What are your thoughts?
Preview: Auto-Adjust for Leveling

Upcoming changes: rare, memory-stranded, crafting, veiled gear
I had to chance to alpha-test 3.26 and I've been working non-stop to implement the following overhauls into the upcoming filter&filterblade update.Unfortunately I have to reset any changes done by users on filterblade in the veiled, crafting, rares, influenced and overquality sections. Unfortunately the game is sometimes changing so much, a larger overhaul is required.Everything below is direct changelog extracts. I still have to do a LOT of work. I have not even touched tiering, visual adjustments are missing, influenced bases, testing etc...
PoE1: New background preview (opinion needed)
Hello everyone. I'm very excited for the upcoming release of the next PoE1 league.I'm very busy integrating the content into the filter and reworking some larger pieces within the filter. PoE2 also gave me the chance to learn a lot of new methods, techniques and optimizations and I'm bringing them home to PoE1! Over the next days I'll talk more about the exact changes here, but... as you know we try to give FilterBlade a unique background every league. But until then...What do you think of the new background? It's not finish...
10 years of NeverSink's filter + new PoE2 style: COBALT
It even feels weird to write, but I published my first filter 10 years ago.I didn't expect that it would become an integral part of my life with my years being more defined by the 4 (or less...) poe leagues than the 4 seasons.Thank you all for being part of this journey! None of this would be possible without your feedback, suggestions and support. The filter and filterblade has been improved by THOUSANDS of suggestions, bug reports and feedback messages.To celebrate the occasion, I'm also publishing a new PoE2 filter style: COBALT.You...

Dawn of the hunt releases tomorrow.Of course my filter and filterblade will be updated as well!I just finished finetuning most of the changes, updating filterblade integrations aaaand also finished the new style and wanted to give you guys a previewNew StyleThe new style is called Zen. It's super minimal. Very GGG like and is great for customizing. Technically it's 'inherited' from Dark Mode, but goes a step beyond.All S-Tier items look the Same. Like a Divine Orb should look like. White background. Red border. Red text. Shwing ...
Dawn of the Hunt, Previous and Upcoming Changes!
I have not posted much over the past month, but that does not mean that work (ever) stops. We've done several improvement to FilterBlade, the base filter generation, economy parsing and a ton of performance and bug fixes. Let me present you with some of the highlights.Dawn of the hunt!First of all, I'm pretty excited to play 'Dawn of the Hunt'.

PoE2 filter+filterblade: schedule adjustment
Hey everyone, we're slightly adjusting the schedule for the release of my filter + filterblade:Our current goal:both are going to be released at the same time between the 11th-13th January.I initially wanted to release filterblade later, filter earlier, but FilterBlade tooling is SO helpful for testing the filter, it just makes sense to combine them!Planned content on release:Full filter7 stricntessCustom sounds styleDark mode style (this is still not certain/confirmed)FilterBladeThanks for reading,NeverSink
PoE2 poll&post: Rares and Splinters
I've made very good progress on the base style+strictness gradient of the filter. What gave me most troubles today?Rares and SplintersRares presented a logic problem. Splinters a stylistic one.RaresHandling rares is tricky. Why is it so hard? Well:Rare scale with arealevel. That means you want to see lower rares on lower maps. But rare items also gain a lot of power with levels. A level 82 rare is pretty rare and is quite powerful.There's currently 5 tiers of endgame rares.This whole thing needs to scale with strictness...and ideally lo...

The Six Tier System
Tierlists are fun. But they're also surprisingly hard to get right. The steps between them need to be just right to make them distinct, but not too crazy either.This has always created challenges in PoE1 and after a lot of thinking, testing and calculating I decided to go for a mostly unified approach in PoE2!The 6-Tier-System: S,A,B,C,D,EThe S-Tier being the best tier (your classical SHWING sound + red star, white background, red borders+text). The other tiers all have lower volume, less bright colors and contrast, size etc.S: 55ex+A: 12ex...
PoE2 feature preview: new basetype tiering system
I want to provide you guys with an update on my PoE2 filter + filterblade work.This may sounds surprising but tiering normal, magic and rare bases was often one of the trickiest parts of making a good filter in PoE1.In PoE1: I've reworked the system countless times and there was always something to be unhappy about. There's just so many dimensions and playergroups to consider.Fortunately: after several days of research, prototyping and multiple iterations, I've come up with a novel approach for PoE2 that improves on pretty much all ...
Vote for the first PoE2 returning FilterBlade style!
FilterBlade is returning for PoE2 in 2-3 weeks. It'll take a while to redo and integrate styles for PoE2, but I'd like to give you guys help me choose the first one!Customsounds and Tabula Rasa are included by default.WoW and Krangled are excluded for now.There will also be new styles, but all styles will take a while!If the PoE2 filter will end up differing from the PoE1 filter significantly (still not done with basic styling), I'll reintroduce a 'classic' styleYou can pick multiple favorites, but I'll start with just o...
NeverSink's filter2 coming in 1 week!
I've had some breakthroughs when it comes to data and programming and wanted to share a timeline for the upcoming project releases:I'm expecting to release my full version of the PoE2 filter in around a week.FilterBlade will take around 2-3 weeks to get done!The following picture illustrates differences between the current mini-filter and the one that's coming up.In short there's a lot more thought, time, quality and utility going on into the new one. It's what you're used to (likely) from my PoE1 work.URL for a larger v...
PoE2 mini-filter: huge update!
Since filterblade will probably take 1-3 more weeks, I've taken the time to improve the mini-filter published a ~week ago.The new version is much more up to my standards. Everything about it was finetuned and vastly improved and after playtesting it:It just feels somuch betterGrab it!https://github.com/NeverSinkDev/NeverSink-PoE2litefilter/releases/latestChangelog:Added some hide rules for endgame mapping:Overhauled the item sizes and map icon sizes to produce much cleaner visualsThe filter will no longer show mapicons for lower currencies ...
