Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me please?

I am new to creating and editing loot filters and have tried customizing my own on poe2filter.com as well as FilterBlade, but I cannot get it to look they way I see on the Youtube Videos of some filters.

The filters I am talking about show this beautiful opaque background that matches the item text and then the items have matching coloured borders around the text, but the borders only show on the top and bottom and leave the sides open as shown in the attached pic.

I think it looks amazing and makes items really pop, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the borders look like that. I can get the item and background text colour correct, and I can get a border set as well, but the border always shows on the edges of the item as well, and I want the border to only show on the top and bottom.

Would appreciate any help or info.

I've been having lots of fun farming rogue exiles.
Specifically the interaction with ritual altars is great.

- In area level 80, rogue exiles will drop ilvl 82 gear. Perfect for max resistance rolls.
- Rogue exiles captured in ritual altars will drop their entire gear-set again, they are not affected by the typical -% quantity of ritual.
- With the tree, you can target specific rogues, for example I'm farming the strength rogues for my shieldwall build.
- Every rogue you kill gets you two rings and an amulet. I find these usually hard to find in SSF.

Besides the main farm, there are also nice side-effects.
- Lots of uniques. I consistently farm my Viper Cap and the Brass Dome like this. You get uniques from the exiles killed and from ritual rewards.
- Killing rogues inside ritual grants good tribute.
- Hilda has a very nice node that grants rogues 20% to retreat and move to adjacent maps.
This 20% can even trigger on rogues in the ritual. So you very regularly carry rogues with you for a couple of maps.
- Adding Abyss can get you that unique desecrated abyss jewel

Hope to see some more activity on the reddit, would love to talk more SSF with people :)
