By setting tab affinities correctly, all exalted gear of a certain type will land where it belongs. This eliminates the frustration of Last Epoch gold searching across 30 different tabs for a single bow or chest piece. If you want even more granularity, you can create build-specific tabs-for example, a tab dedicated only to exalted one-handed swords if you primarily play Judgment Paladin.

Organizing Idols

Idols are another category where clutter builds up fast. They come in different sizes, so it makes sense to divide them by slot size:

Big Idols (1x4)

Medium Idols (1x2 or 1x3)

Small Idols (1x1)

Within each tab, you can further refine by idol type if needed. This makes it much easier to find the right idol for your current build without sifting through mixed piles.

Sorting Set Items

Set items are less demanding since they can be salvaged for shards if you don't need them. A couple of dedicated tabs should be enough, though it's worth keeping a few organized in case you want to experiment with niche builds.

Managing Uniques and Legendary Potential

Uniques require the most nuanced approach. To avoid clutter, you can separate them based on whether they have legendary potential (LP), Weaver's Will, or neither:

Regular Uniques: Max LP = 0, Weaver's Will = 0

LP Uniques: Minimum LP = 1, Weaver's Will = 0

Weaver's Will Uniques: Minimum Weaver's Will = 1, LP = 0

Legendaries: Simply select the "Legendary" rarity

If you want to get even more specific, you could create separate tabs for items with 2 LP, 3 LP, or 4 LP. This is especially useful if you're targeting items to craft into high-tier legendaries.

Putting It All Together

Once your categories and tabs are set, the process becomes effortless. Here's how it works in practice:

Head to your dump tab and Shift + Right-Click items from your inventory.

Items automatically flow into the correct tab based on the affinities you set.

Anything left behind in the dump tab indicates either an unassigned category or an item that doesn't fit your setup.

It's simple, reliable, and saves hours of manual sorting.

Extra Tips for Efficiency

Start Mid-Stash: Put your dump tab in the middle of your stash so it's easy to check whether items missed their categories.

Plan for Growth: Some tabs (like two-handers or uniques) may fill up quickly, so leave room to expand.

Use Colors Wisely: Color-coding categories makes navigation much faster.

Granularity Helps: If you play a build often, give its most important gear a dedicated tab for quicker access.

Quality-of-Life Suggestions

 The system works well, but there's still room for improvement. Imagine if, at the start of each season, players could pay a small cheap Last Epoch gold fee to instantly generate a default stash setup with pre-colored categories and base tabs. Another idea would be the ability to share stash structures-similar to sharing loot filters-so players can import a friend's setup with a single paste.

Final Thoughts

The auto-sort stash feature is one of the best quality-of-life updates in Last Epoch. Combined with a strong loot filter, it allows players to spend less time cleaning up tabs and more time slaying enemies, farming echoes, and experimenting with builds.

If you've been drowning in a sea of exalteds, idols, and uniques, this system is your lifeline. Set up your categories once, and from Last Epoch gold for sale then on, your stash practically organizes itself.
