The best Diablo 4 loot filter for a druid is one built around your current build: show the uniques and legendaries your build actually uses, recolor drops that are worth trading, and hide the bulk of everything else. The fastest way to get one is to import a shared druid filter code from /loot-filters, set it active, then adjust a few rules to match your gear. This guide covers how to structure the rules, how to set it up on PC and console, and how to keep trade value from getting filtered out.
What a good druid filter needs to do
Druid builds vary a lot. Two druids can want completely different weapon types, affixes and uniques, so a generic "druid" filter is only a starting point. A useful filter does three jobs:
- Shows your upgrades clearly. Anything your build can equip and might improve on should stand out.
- Recolors trade bait. Items you will not wear but other players will pay gold for should look different from your upgrades, so you can sort them at a glance.
- Hides the noise. Low-value drops you would salvage anyway should stop cluttering the ground.
Keep in mind that Mythic Uniques are account-bound and can never be traded. Your filter should still show them because they matter to you, but they belong in the "keep" color, not the "sell" color.
Setting up the filter in game
On PC the filter is built into Diablo 4:
- Go to Options > Gameplay and enable the Loot Filter shortcut.
- Open Game Menu > Loot Filter.
- Choose Import and paste an export code.
- Name the filter and set it active.
Only one filter can be active at a time, and each filter holds up to 25 rules. Every rule has a mode (Show, Hide or Recolor) and a color.
Consoles cannot paste filter codes. If you play on console, open any filter page on /loot-filters. Each one shows the decoded rule list with the rule name, mode and color, so you can work through it line by line and rebuild the filter by hand. It takes a few minutes, but you only do it once per build. For a fuller walkthrough of the menus, see our guide on how to use loot filters in Diablo 4.
A rule layout that fits in 25 rules
Twenty-five rules sounds like plenty until you start splitting by slot. The trick is to order rules from most specific to most general and to give each color one meaning across the whole filter. Here is a layout that works well for druids:
| Rule group | Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Chase items for your build | Show, bright color | Uniques and Mythics you are hunting |
| Build-specific legendaries | Show, second color | Gear with the affixes your build stacks |
| Tradeable high-value drops | Recolor, "sell" color | Items other classes or builds want |
| Charms and Seals | Show or Recolor | Tradeable, so worth a look every time |
| Season materials and keys | Show | Anything your current season activities need |
| Off-build legendaries | Recolor, dim color | Salvage or quick-sell pile |
| Everything else | Hide | Clutter |
A few habits make this layout hold up:
- One color, one meaning. If gold means "keep" in one rule, never use it for "sell" in another. You will be making split-second decisions in a crowd of enemies.
- Leave spare rules. Keep a couple of slots open so you can add a rule mid-season without deleting something useful.
- Put Hide rules last. Grouping broad Hide rules at the end keeps the filter easier to read and makes it simpler to check that nothing you want is being hidden.
If you play the Season 14 boss ladder, make sure no rule hides anything you need for it. That ladder uses Lair Keys, and losing track of them because of an overly aggressive filter is an easy way to waste a farming session.
Tuning it for your druid build
A shared filter gets you most of the way, but druids benefit from a pass of personal tuning because builds lean so hard on specific affixes and weapon types.
Start by listing what your build cannot live without: the uniques it runs, the slots you are still trying to upgrade, and the affixes you check first on any new drop. Then compare that list against the rules in the filter you imported:
- Upgrades you have already filled. If a slot is finished, tighten or remove its Show rule so lesser copies stop lighting up.
- Slots still open. Loosen the rule for those slots so near-misses still show. You can tighten it later.
- Weapon types you never use. Move them out of your "keep" rules. Do not hide them outright yet; check the next section first.
If you switch between two druid builds during a season, save a separate filter for each. Since only one can be active, swapping filters when you swap gear is quicker than editing rules every time.
For gear-level advice on what druids chase and sell, our guide to the best Diablo 4 druid items to trade goes deeper than a filter can.
Recolor for trade value, not just your build
This is where most class filters lose their owners gold. A druid-only mindset hides everything a druid cannot use, but Diablo 4 has 8 classes since Lord of Hatred added the Paladin and Warlock. A drop that is useless on your druid may be exactly what another player is hunting.
Instead of hiding off-class items, recolor the ones with strong affixes into a dedicated "sell" color. That way you pick them up only when they are worth your inventory space, and your ground stays readable.
Things worth keeping visible for trade:
- Charms and Seals. Both are tradeable, and demand for them can be high, so give them their own rule.
- Strong legendaries for other classes. Especially from newer classes, where demand from players gearing a fresh character can run ahead of supply.
- Uniques you already own. A second copy you do not need can still be worth gold to someone else.
Not sure whether something is worth listing? Check /prices, which explains what each item is, whether it can be traded, and what drives its value. It is a value reference, not a live ticker, so use it to judge whether an item is worth posting, then see what buyers offer.
When you do sell, trade for in-game gold or items. Buying or selling items or gold for real money breaks Blizzard's terms of use and can get an account actioned. The trade board on this site is gold, runes and items only, every trader is a Battle.net-verified BattleTag, and the trade itself happens in game.
Common mistakes with druid filters
A few problems come up again and again:
- Hiding all off-class gear. Covered above. Recolor first, and only hide once you know a category never sells.
- Too many colors. Five or six meaningful colors is easier to read than a rainbow. If you cannot remember what a color means, merge it.
- Never revisiting the filter. Your needs change as your druid gears up. A filter that was perfect early in a season will hide upgrades or show junk later. Review it whenever you finish a slot.
- Filling all 25 rules. With no spare slots, you will end up deleting something in a rush. Keep a buffer.
- Forgetting season activities. Check that keys and season materials are never caught by a broad Hide rule.
- Treating Mythics as sellable. Mythic Uniques are account-bound. Show them, but keep them out of your sell color so you never waste time trying to list one.
If you want a ready-made starting point, browse the druid filters on /loot-filters, copy or download the one closest to your build, and spend five minutes tuning it with the steps above. Players on other classes can find matching filters on the same page, and our guides section covers filters for several other classes as well.

Frequently asked questions
Can I run two loot filters at once on my druid?
No. Only one filter is active at a time, with up to 25 rules. If you play two druid builds, save a filter for each and switch the active one when you change gear.
Can I import a druid loot filter code on console?
Consoles cannot paste filter codes. Open a filter on /loot-filters and use its decoded rule list (rule name, Show/Hide/Recolor, color) as a checklist to rebuild the rules by hand.
Should my druid filter hide items for other classes?
Usually not. Diablo 4 has 8 classes, so off-class drops can still sell for gold. Recolor the valuable ones instead of hiding them, and check /prices to see what drives an item's value before you list it.
