[QoL] Single-Currency Pickup Pet

Hi everyone,

I’d like to suggest a quality-of-life feature that could significantly improve gameplay flow, especially during fast-paced mapping.

Suggestion: Currency Pickup Pet with Selectable Filter

The idea is to introduce an optional pet that can automatically pick up a specific currency item type chosen by the player.

How it would work:

* The player selects one currency type (e.g., Orb of Alteration, Chaos Orb, Orb of Alchemy, etc.).
* The pet automatically picks up only that selected currency.
* The selection can be changed at any time (even mid-map).
* The pet would ignore all other items.

Example use case:

Let’s say I'm running maps and an Eldritch Altar modifies drops to include a specific currency (e.g., Alteration Orbs). I could quickly switch my pet to collect that currency without interrupting gameplay flow.

If later I encounter a different situation (e.g., Chaos Orbs becoming more valuable in that map), I could switch the target currency again.

Why this would be valuable:

* Reduces repetitive clicking and hand strain
* Keeps the player focused on combat and decision-making
* Maintains loot relevance without fully automating everything
* Still requires player choice and awareness (not full auto-looting)

Balance considerations:

* Limit the pet to only one currency type at a time
* Possibly require manual activation or a small cooldown when switching
* Could be tied to microtransactions (cosmetic pets with functionality) or a gameplay unlock

I believe this strikes a good balance between convenience and maintaining Path of Exile’s core loot philosophy.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for reading.

I think that's the great idea 💡 insted using one filter and forgot to change it in higher lvl when yiu don't need to or don't want to pick up trash 😉

I wish we can get it 👍😊
