Separate a hidden label from a missing drop

A loot filter changes item visibility; it does not establish whether an item dropped. Eleventh Hour Games documents up to 75 rules, an editable order, in-UI import/export and a temporary disable key. Use these as filter diagnostics, not proof of loot generation.

ObservationNext checkWhat it does not prove
Label appears while filter is held offReview enabled rules and their orderThat every rule is correct
Label remains absent with filter offRecord area, enemy/reward and item expectation; compare current drop rulesThat the item was guaranteed to drop
Imported filter behaves differentlyCheck filter source/version and rule order; keep the previous exportThat the file is corrupt

Make one reversible filter change

The official guide says rules higher in the list take priority. A broad show/hide rule can therefore mask a narrower rule below it. Change one rule at a time so a different result remains interpretable.

  1. Record cycle, character, area, item base/type, rarity and the filter name or source.
  2. Export the current filter or make a separate copy before editing.
  3. Temporarily disable filtering with the current keybind and check whether the item label is visible.
  4. Inspect enabled rules from top to bottom; compare each rule's conditions with the exact item's category and affixes.
  5. Move or disable only the suspected rule, then test against a later comparable drop; restore the original copy if the result is unclear.
  6. If the filter UI reports a broken filter, follow the current official repair article rather than downloading an unknown replacement.

Before you play

  • Filter keybind checked in current controls.
  • Cycle/build and exact item type recorded.
  • Original filter exported before edits.
  • Temporary disable distinguished filter visibility from loot generation.
  • Only one rule changed before comparison.
  • Community filter advice treated as anecdotal.

Frequently asked questions

Does a hidden label mean the item did not drop?

Not necessarily. Temporarily disable the filter first; the support article explains that filters alter what is displayed.

Can I put a generic hide rule above a specific show rule?

That may hide items because higher rules take priority. Check the current official rule-order behavior and test a copy.

Does this worksheet inspect my filter file?

No. It stores only notes you enter in this browser and does not read Last Epoch files.
