The Merchant's Guild thrives on trading, allowing you to sell valuable drops and buy specific gear using gold and Favour. The Weaver faction, introduced in Season 2, enhances this by offering nodes to target-farm uniques, idols, and crafting materials through imprints and Woven Echoes. A tailored loot filter ensures you only pick up items worth selling or using, streamlining your economy-focused gameplay. This guide draws from expert strategies to help you dominate the market at high corruption levels (500+).
This loot filter guide designed for endgame MG players, is intentionally strict to minimise clutter and focus on high-value items at 500+ corruption.
It's not for levelling or Circle of Fortune (Cof) players—check Frozen Sentinel's Cof filter for that. Here's how it works:
Loot Filter Customization Tips
Adjust for Your Needs: Add Tier 6 rules if you're still gearing up, or include specific idols for your build (e.g., Lich poison idols).
Market Awareness: Check the Bazaar or Sanctum Market Discord to identify meta affixes (e.g., hybrid health, +skill levels) for top builds like Heartseeker, as these sell well.
Disable Broad Rules: Once you're flush with gold, turn off the “all exalted” rule to focus on Tier 7s and double T6s for maximum efficiency.
Use Maxroll Integration: Import your build's affixes via
Maxroll Gear Planner to auto-populate class-specific rules, as outlined in our universal loot filter guide (#).
Pro Tip: This filter setup assumes you're buying gear from the Bazaar rather than farming for personal use, so prioritize items with high trade value. For example, a double T6 ring with meta affixes can fetch 500k+ gold.
Weaver Tree Strategy: Targeted Farming for Profit
The Weaver faction's tree is a game-changer for MG players, allowing you to target-farm uniques and idols to sell or use. This strategy focuses on farming specific uniques (e.g., Gathering Fury bow) and high-value items at 900 corruption, but it's adaptable to other goals.
Key Weaver Tree Nodes
Imprints (Loomed Riches, Woven Riches)
Purpose: Imprint a unique (e.g., Gathering Fury) to increase drop rates from common enemies, champions, or echo rewards.
Why It's Useful: Boosts the chance of dropping multiple copies of a high-value unique (e.g., 3 LP Gathering Fury, 1 in 2,000 drop rate). Imprint Woven Beacons to spawn more echoes with your desired reward.
Tombs and Cemeteries
Purpose: Increases tomb spawn rate and pack size, with chests that duplicate echo rewards (e.g., unique bow/quiver).
Why It's Useful: Doubles your echo rewards, effectively multiplying drops of imprinted items. Also supports idol re-rolling with Memory Amber.
Conquered Towers
Purpose: Spawns multiple Nemesis encounters in a single echo, ideal for adding LP to uniques.
Why It's Useful: Nemesis eggs can empower imprinted uniques (e.g., Gathering Fury) with LP or random legendary affixes, increasing their trade value.
Unique/Set Bow, Quiver Nodes
Purpose: Blocks other monolith rewards, forcing unique bow/set/quiver drops.
Why It's Useful: Narrows the loot pool to your target (e.g., Gathering Fury), increasing drop frequency.
Woven Echo Drops
Purpose: Boosts Woven Echo spawns for more tailored farming maps.
Why It's Useful: Ensures frequent access to echoes like Conquered Towers or Unclaimed Trove, enhancing targeted farming.
Strategy Breakdown
Goal: Farm multiple Gathering Fury bows (or another unique) with 2–3 LP for personal use or sale, alongside T7 exalted items and Weaver idols.
Setup:
Imprint Gathering Fury on Loomed Riches, Woven Riches, and champion nodes to maximize drops from enemies and chests.
Imprint Woven Beacons to spawn echoes with unique bow rewards.
Block all monolith rewards except unique bow/set/quiver to focus the loot pool.
Run Conquered Towers for Nemesis encounters to add LP to dropped uniques.
Prioritize tombs for reward duplication and idol re-rolling.
Execution: Farm at 900–1,000 corruption for higher drop quality. Use a fast-clear build to speed through echoes and tombs.
Profit Plan: Sell excess Gathering Furies, T7 exalted items, and Weaver idols in the Bazaar. For example, a 2 LP Titan Heart with double HP affixes can fetch 600k+ gold due to Season 2's HP buffs.
Customization Tips
Adapt to Your Build: Imprint uniques or idols relevant to your next character (e.g., Titan Heart for tanky builds).
Market-Driven Farming: Check the Bazaar for high-demand uniques (e.g., Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros, valued at over 600k gold) and imprint those instead.
Balance Efficiency: If profit per hour is your goal, test different echoes (e.g., Unclaimed Trove for exalted items) and adjust nodes.
Idol Focus: Add nodes like Echoed Legends (1% chance for 1+ LP items) if targeting legendary idols for sale.
Caution: This tree is highly specialized. Don't copy it unthinkingly—tailor it to your target items and playstyle. For boss-specific farming (e.g., Aberoth's Command), use boss-focused echoes instead of Conquered Towers.
Integrating Loot Filter and Weaver Tree for MG Success
The loot filter and Weaver tree work hand-in-hand for MG players:
Filter Precision: The strict filter ensures you only pick up T7s, double T6s, Weaver idols, and high-LP uniques, maximizing stash efficiency and Bazaar sales.
Weaver Targeting: The tree's imprints and tombs amplify drops of your chosen unique, while Nemesis encounters add LP for premium trade value.
Economy Focus: Sell excess drops (e.g., T7 affixes, 2 LP uniques) to fund Bazaar purchases, bypassing the need to farm every item yourself.
Example Workflow:
Farm Conquered Towers at 900 corruption with Gathering Fury imprints.
Pick up T7 exalted items, Weaver idols, and 1+ LP uniques per the filter.
Use Nemesis eggs to add LP to Gathering Furies, aiming for 2–3 LP.
Sell duplicates, T7s, and idols in the Bazaar, targeting 500k–1M gold per item.
Buy meta gear (e.g., Red Ring, 200k Favor) to complete your build.
FAQS About Merchant's Guild Loot Filter and Weaver Tree
Is this loot filter suitable for levelling?
No, it's designed for endgame (500+ corruption) with strict rules for T7s and high-LP uniques. Use a broader filter, such as the universal Maxroll filter, for levelling.

No, it's Merchant's Guild-only, focusing on trade value. For Cof, try Frozen Sentinel's filter, linked in the video description.
How do I choose what to imprint in the Weaver tree?
Imprint uniques or idols that are high-demand in the Bazaar (e.g., Twisted Heart, Gathering Fury) or critical for your build. Check Sanctum Market for meta items.

Tombs duplicate echo rewards (e.g., unique bows) and support idol re-rolling with Memory Amber, doubling your farming efficiency.
