A good next step is to import the In-Game item on the 'Simulate' tab on FilterBlade. It can show you why an item is highlighted and can give insight into where the error lies. Make sure to copy the mod-information by holding down the Alt key.
Make sure that the ItemLevel, AreaLevel or StackSize of the item isn't a factor. Currency for example has many variations depending on some of these.
If you don't have an example item for the Importer, try using the Item Builder below it to specify exactly what item you want to test.

To give you a POE analogy. If filters would be a POE skilltree, modules would be jewels. A filter can include 0 to 15 modules and a single module can affect multiple filters. Modules are great if you want to have the same set of changes across multiple filters. For instance if you want to reuse the same style or tiering you can save these in a module and then apply them onto one or multiple filters.

However, you can't save a filter that uses a module into another module.", + "tags": "module turn convert save" + }, + { + "question": "My module is behaving weirdly, why is that?", + "answer": "Like normal filter-saveStates, modules work not by saving the current, final state of the filter, but by saving the changes you made. Meaning if something is back on its initial value, it doesn't count as change and is therefore not applied in the filter. This can happen a lot in ever-changing parts like tierlists, where items move often and rules get disabled all the time.
Another tricky part are strictnesses. The strictness you used when creating a module doesn't directly matter, but it allows you to do changes that aren't possible otherwise. For example you can't have a module that disables Chancing Bases when you work on a low stirctness, because that section is already disabled, meaning it wouldn't be a change and therefore not saved. Changing to a high strictness allows you to do and save this change.


Another reason for odd behaviors is the fact that your filter might already have changes in the section that the module edits and overwrites it. You can try Shift-Rightclicking a section to hard-reset it, which doesn't set the section back to its initial values, but instead deletes all of your local changes, causing the module to take effect again.

It's also useful in SSF. Expensive items are often the very same that are desirable on SSF and you still want the filter patches. The feature has been allowed by GGG (we talked to Bex about it).

When an item drops, it goes through all rules from top to bottom. When it finds a rule that accepts this item (i.e. it meets all of the rule's requirements) it uses that rule's actions and the search for this item stops.

The filter alert sounds (Those loud \"bong\" and \"peng\" sounds, or the Shaper voicelines like \"Chaos Orb!\", or even Custom sounds, which are .mp3 files that you can provide.)
and the games Drop-Sound-Effects (the inGame atmospheric sound effect of the axe or orb hitting the ground).

The first one can be edited in the 'Sound' section of the rule editing UI or the 'Style' tab.
The latter can be removed by adding the 'DisableDropSound' command to the rule that handles the item. It can be added by removing the 'Drop' checkbox in the sound UI. You can also add or remove it from all rules with the Global Style Edits.

Additionally, there are special sound effects for e.g. Unique items. Those have their own sound effect when they drop for the first time.
