Leveling vs Endgame Filters
Keep leveling filters forgiving, then tighten them once your build and difficulty are stable.
Do not over-hide early
While leveling or starting a season, you still need materials, aspects, temporary rares, and slot upgrades. Keep early filters light: show useful rarities, power upgrades, and broad build stats before you add aggressive hiding.
Tighten after your gear settles
Once you are farming endgame content and replacing fewer slots, shift from broad pickup rules to specific slot, affix, unique, talisman, and Greater Affix rules. The goal changes from seeing upgrades often to seeing only drops worth checking.
Use a season tag
Seasonal builds change fast. Tag filters by season or farming goal so you do not accidentally use an old rule set after your build, class balance, or item priorities change.
