- In game, go to Options -> UI -> Item Filter and select the filter
Creating a Filter
The basic syntax of a script is a collection of Show and Hide blocks that each specify conditions. Anything matched by a Show block will be shown and anything matched by a Hide block will be hidden. If there are multiple conditions in a block then all of them must be matched for the block to match an item.
The blocks are matched in the order they come in the file which means that you need to have the block that hides the scrolls above before the line that shows the currency because scrolls would also match the currency block.
An empty block matches all items, which means that the Hide at the end of the file effectively hides everything that wasn't specifically shown.
A line starting with # will be considered a comment and will be ingored.

Item filters not loading
Currently (beta) item filters may not load for users who use a non-ASCII userpath. As a work around you can move your documents folder to a location which does not contain non-ASCII letters. To do so:
Go to your user folder (%USERPROFILE%) -> right click on My Documents -> properties -> path -> move... -> select a new location to move to -> apply
