Hidden Bonus
Every World of Warcraft player knows the small pang of annoyance when a bonus roll window pops up right after a world boss you killed for a quest, or an old raid you were only running for transmog. You either waste a bonus roll or spend a few seconds clicking "No" again. Hidden Bonus is a lightweight addon that solves this quietly by letting you decide exactly which bonus roll prompts are worth showing and which ones should never bother you again.
What Hidden Bonus Actually Does
The concept behind Hidden Bonus is refreshingly simple. With nothing checked in its options, the addon behaves as if it isn't there at all: every bonus roll prompt appears exactly as Blizzard intended. The moment you start checking boxes, the addon flips the logic. Only the content you have selected keeps its prompt, and everything else is hidden, including content that isn't even in the addon's lists, such as world bosses and older raids.
That last detail matters. You don't need to maintain an exclusion list for every legacy raid or open-world encounter. Hidden Bonus assumes you want prompts only where you've opted in, and silently suppresses the rest.
The Three Lists You Control
Raid Bosses
The Raid Bosses list covers every boss in the current raid tier. It is read live from the Encounter Journal, which means it always reflects the actual bosses available to you right now, not a snapshot from whenever the addon was last updated.
Mythic+ Dungeons
The Mythic+ Dungeons list pulls from the current Mythic+ season pool using the game's own challenge mode data. If you only want bonus roll prompts at the end of keys you're pushing for score, you can leave everything else unchecked.
Delves
Delves are handled with a single switch. Turn it on and bonus rolls from Bountiful Delves keep their prompt; leave it off and they disappear along with the rest of the unwanted noise.
Why the Lists Stay Current
Because the raid and dungeon lists are generated from live game data, a new raid tier or a fresh Mythic+ season requires no addon update. The next time you open the options window, the lists have already rebuilt themselves around the current content. This is the kind of design that keeps an addon useful for years instead of weeks, and it is a big reason players keep it installed across patches.
If you have ever juggled a folder of outdated addons after a major patch, this approach feels like a relief. Hidden Bonus for World of Warcraft simply keeps working while other tools wait for a maintainer to come back.
Opening the Options Window
Type /hb or /hiddenbonus in chat to open the configuration window. From there you'll see the three lists described above, each with checkboxes you can toggle at any time. There is no separate profile system to learn and no slash command syntax to memorize beyond those two shortcuts.
- Raid Bosses: every boss in the current tier, pulled from the Encounter Journal
- Mythic+ Dungeons: the full seasonal dungeon pool
- Delves: one switch for Bountiful Delves
- Everything unchecked: the addon stays invisible and prompts behave normally
Supported Game Versions and Compatibility
Hidden Bonus is built for Retail World of Warcraft on the current patch, and that is where it shines brightest, since bonus rolls and the Great Vault systems live there. Players who split their time between game versions should note that Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria do not use the same bonus roll framework in the same way, so the addon's core purpose is tied to modern Retail content. If you play across multiple clients, keep Hidden Bonus enabled on your Retail installation and treat the Classic-era versions as a separate addon setup entirely.
For anyone who wants a smoother path from discovery to playing, the foxygame.net launcher handles the busywork: it installs Hidden Bonus with a single click and keeps it current through automatic updates, so your raid and dungeon lists are always reading the latest game data. That convenience pairs well with an addon whose whole selling point is removing friction.
How to Install
Installation is the same manual process most WoW addons use. Download Hidden Bonus, then copy the HiddenBonus folder into your World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/ directory. Restart the game client or reload your UI, and the addon will be active. Type /hb to confirm it loaded and to start checking the content you care about.
If you use a launcher that manages your addon folder automatically, the folder placement is handled for you, and updates arrive without you thinking about it. Either way, the setup takes less than a minute.
The Bottom Line
Hidden Bonus does one job and does it without clutter. It gives you back the small moments that add up over a raid night or a weekend of keys, and it does so without punishing you for playing older content or chasing world quests. Check the boxes that match your goals, ignore the rest, and let the addon quietly filter out the bonus roll prompts you never wanted in the first place.
