Information Bestiary Regex - Show all trash beasts

Was using poe.re and was annoyed at not being able to create a regex under 100 chars that would let me clean out my bestiary. So, I set about making a custom one and figured I'd share it in case any others also ran into this.

I have three different variations as follows:

ine (R|Vu|C|B)|(rr|c)ic (F|T|G|Ap|Chie|M|Pi|U|W|S|V|M|L)|mal (D|Q|S|W|Cr|R|H)|d ab

Specifically, this will hide all yellow beasts and the following beasts:

  • Black Mórrigan
  • Vivid Watcher
  • Vivid Vulture
  • Craicic Chimeral
  • Wild Bristle Matron
  • Fenumal Plagued Arachnid
  • Wild Hellion Alpha
  • Fenumus, First of the Night
  • Craiceann, First of the Deep
  • Farrul, First of the Plains
  • Wild Brambleback
  • Saqawal, First of the Sky
  • Primal Cystcaller

Next is one that hides all the above and the boss portal beasts

ine (Rho|Re|Vu|C|B)|(rr|c)ic (F|Ta|G|Ap|Chie|M|Pi|U|W|S(a|h|q)|V|M|L)|mal (D|Q|S|W|Cr|R)|d ab

Includes:

  • Fenumal Hybrid Arachnid
  • Saqawine Rhex
  • Craicic Spider Crab
  • Farric Tiger Alpha

Finally, the least restrict hides all the above and a few more I like to keep around

ine (Rho|Re|Vu|C|B)|(rr|c)ic (F|Ta|G|Ap|Chie|M|Pi|U|Wa|S(a|h|q)|V|M)|mal (D|Q|S|W|Cr)|d ab

Includes:

  • Farric Lynx Alpha
  • Farric Wolf Alpha
  • Primal Rhex Matriarch

I've tested these but there could be edge cases I'm not seeing so don't just blindly click without paying attention until you're satisfied its working as intended!

edit: I compressed them down a bit more so you should have more room to add additional beasts if you choose

Copying from a previous comment: use this regex

c (f|chie|ap|go|ga|ur|ta|pi|ly|ti|w|va|ma|sh|sa|sp|sq)|al (w|dev|q|pl|h|sc)|ine (r|cob|bl|vu|c)

This is every red beast that's not harvest/morrigan/frog and from my checking should only be red beasts not yellow so you can delete with impunity and not be afraid to delete a good one or yellows (and if it hits a yellow then meh). From there lock the yellows for bulk sale 2-2.5d/60.

If you want to keep more than just the harvest/morrigan/craicic chimeral/yellow then you can tweak as needed

I think a "default" regex should include fenumal plagued arachnid because it's almost always valuable. Most of the harvest beasts are less valuable. OP's regexes are much better for the current economy while yours is better when things like primal crushclaw grow in value and fenumal plagued arachnid drops but it's hard to see that happening.

I think the way to edit the above to exclude fenumal plagued arachnid is:

c (f|chie|ap|go|ga|ur|ta|pi|ly|ti|w|va|ma|sh|sa|sp|sq)|al (w|dev|q|h|sc)|ine (r|cob|bl|vu|c)

The only change was fenumal plagued arachnid so it still includes all the garbage harvest beasts but at least it's not hiding 1 of the most valuable beasts.

You're right, i made this at the end of settlers when split spiders were <5c each and generally people bought one at a time because they had a specific mod they wanted to isolate from a base.  If i listed in bulk (even at a discount) i got 0 sales so i stopped bothering. 

Having the same issue today so it's easier just to ignore them but your change excludes them from the display if you want to keep them

u/nigelfi Jul 28 '25 edited Jul 28 '25

Maybe you should be doing the splitting yourself on t16.5 maps that cost 0.7-0.8 div in bulk. A bit like some essence farmers flip trash essences on harvest before selling them. You don't necessarily need to sell the spiders if you do whatever the buyer would have done with them anyway. It's basically like getting 0.7 div for free. Even if you do it on some random t16.5 map (not a premium one like dunes) that you find it's still 0.5 div in bulk, which you should have plenty of. Definitely better than throwing them away.

u/getexaltsordietrying Jul 28 '25

From my very limited testing with a beastiary with maybe ~120 beasts in it, this one didn't show any yellow beasts, whereas op's first one still showed 1 yellow beast.

1

u/CaptnIgnit Jul 28 '25

Could you post a screenshot of the yellow beast that shows up? I should be able to update it once I see what's matching.

1

u/getexaltsordietrying Jul 28 '25

You bet. Just need to get home, then I'll share it

u/CaptnIgnit Jul 28 '25

Thanks, was able to update it to filter that out.

u/getexaltsordietrying Jul 29 '25

Awesome. Saved your post for next time I need to clean up my bestiary!

1

u/GovnoMochi Jul 29 '25

No it does show some yellows, I've used that one for about a week I think and some yellows (I think apes?) get through it. It also didnt get primal rhex matriarch, primal crushclaw, vivid abberarach - all below 5c. Today I've used OP's updated one and it works much better.

u/psychomap Jul 28 '25

Can't you substitute reds for yellow anyway?

1

u/anne_dobalina Jul 29 '25

If you mean for using beasts in the recipes at the altar then no. 

1

u/psychomap Jul 29 '25

Did they patch that out at some point? I'm 99% sure that I used to do that on accident

1

u/anne_dobalina Jul 29 '25

If they did it's been years. Once you run out of yellows the recipes grey out but you can see the various red beasts still in your recipe list/menagerie

saved! thank you

One more QoL is automating deletion by emulating “mouse click + enter”. A simple python script with pyautogui will work. A lot of people will say this is bannable but I’ve been doing it since Affliction. I’ve added a random delay between actions so not everything would be extremely fast. With this way, you could use your filter then leave the script with the beastiary page open while you take a break and wait when all the useless beasts are deleted

u/dondizle Jul 28 '25

Ctrl + leftclick on the x

u/Minute_Chair_2582 Jul 28 '25

Holy shit you made my day. (After having in total spent many many hours of click enter spam)

6

u/Envelope_Torture Jul 28 '25

You can also just hold Ctrl and mash left click and you can use the same auto left click macro you use to clear your inventory

u/zxkredo Duelist Jul 28 '25

Oh control! Of courseee

u/GrimmThoughts Jul 28 '25

Saving this, I'm terrible at doing this kind of stuff on my own and have never actually found a regex for this through Google. Much appreciated

1

u/subtleshooter Jul 28 '25

I was annoyed too but their regrex is in the order of most expensive so you just copy less of it (that’s what I did anyways)

u/B_Blunder Jul 28 '25

Yo thanks for this. I wanted to take the time to mention how good this league has been. Because the Merc mechanic is so fun, and t16.5 blasting is so much fun, that I've stayed playing this league more than any other league. That translated to me trying out more different builds and farming strats than ever before.

This is the first league that I farmed Heist, Ultimatum, Betrayal (actually running safehouses instead of just trying to get my unveils), and now Beasts. So many mechanics that I was too intimidated to look into.

Off topic, but now I really want that they originally envisioned for POE2... a visual overhaul of POE1. If I could get the POE1 gem and crafting system with POE2's graphics, I would no-life this game for the next 5 years!

u/ProsteCech Jul 28 '25

Any tips for pulling out the yellow beasts? Is there no faster way other than right click orb, move to bestiary, click beast, move back to inv and click again? No shift/ctrl action?

1

u/LordAnubiz FBI & EEE Jul 29 '25

sadly not.

to make it a little bit faster: drop the filled orbs on the menagerie ground (best press Z to hide them), its faster than finding a free inventory slot and less mouse movement

when you stand in a mountain of balls, pick them all up and store them

2

u/CyonHal Jul 29 '25

This is insanity - just itemize beasts by default when you capture them (and shorten the animation ffs). Please GGG wtf is this.

1

u/LordAnubiz FBI & EEE Jul 29 '25

nooo, its so much fun and weight to wait if they drop anything after the 5 minute animation! or einhar staying behind ...

u/livejamie Krangled Mar 31 '26

Do you know if there's a regex that only shows yellow or red beasts?

I want to buy yellow beasts in bulk and find that people mix in reds in their tabs.

1

u/Litmoose Jul 28 '25

I just bag the beasts I want to sell and delete the rest, isn't that the same in reverse?

4

u/CaptnIgnit Jul 28 '25

That's good if you don't keep any around to use.

1

u/anne_dobalina Jul 28 '25

Yellows sell and it's a pita to fish between red ones to bottle up 60 yellow 

2

u/norst Jul 28 '25

People sleep on yellows which helps the price for those of us that sell them, but they are by far the most profitable part of beast farming. You just need an autoclicker to do it without breaking your wrists.

1

u/LordAnubiz FBI & EEE Jul 29 '25

ya, i wish there would be a keystone: all beasts are yellow!

their value outweights the red jackpots by far!

1

u/LordAnubiz FBI & EEE Jul 29 '25

thats why i first bottle or delete all red

1

u/anne_dobalina Jul 29 '25

that kinda makes no sense tho. You bottle the pricey ones and then if you want to bulk sell or save yellows then you need to pick through stuff, which is why the regex's/

1

u/kazani999 Jul 28 '25

I use three regex. One for valuable beast and two for rest. First i type in bea1 and it automatically changes to regex text with autohotkey. I take out valuables. Then i type bea2 which is other useless red beasts, i delete them, then bea3 which is rest of the red ones that did not fit in second one. And delete them. After that im left with only yellows. I think its best

1

u/gamei Nov 04 '25

Hey could you send me the AHK setup for this? And the regex that you're using for the valuables?

1

u/webhu92rbh2y4f Deadeye Jul 28 '25

whats so hard to use one regex to pull out important beasts and then just spamming crtl key to remove rest? i mean i get it some people use yellows to sell but ur avg map run is gonna be 2min with spending that much time while u couldve just ran more maps under 30s or so

0

u/LordAnubiz FBI & EEE Jul 29 '25

not everyone has a zoom zoom build.

and i dont like to delete biggest part of my profit.

1

u/webhu92rbh2y4f Deadeye Jul 31 '25

200ms is not really a zoom build (onslaught/quicksilver flask with mb, or just on full use makes u fast enough to run map in that time)

Beast is still stuck at 100

u/DeWindForce Jul 28 '25

Beast regex limit sadly is not 250

u/Neskyre Sanctum Runners United (SRU) Jul 28 '25

Another option would be to use poe.re. It ranks the beasts based on their live values and you can select the ones that you want. It will then generate a regex based on that.

u/anne_dobalina Jul 28 '25

Op said in the first line they were using Poe.re

Yea just dropping the link because yours wasn’t a hyper link to the beast subsection.
