Bonus Events are special time-limited events that last one week. The current Event is selected through a rotating schedule of seven different Bonus Events, each granting a passive bonus to a particular game activity and offering a once-per-event quest with a noteworthy reward for accomplishing a related goal.

The schedule for current and future Bonus Events can be viewed through the in-game calendar. Players can also find the current Event and accept any special quests through the Adventure Guide. All Bonus Events except Timewalking Events grant players a special buff for the duration, which can be moused over to reveal the current bonus.

Notes[]

When patch 7.0.3 was released, the usual schedule was replaced for the final run-up to Legion: Timewalking (BC, WotLK, Cata), Apexis, and Draenor dungeons. The final bonus event concluded one week before the launch of the Legion expansion. Bonus events did not start up again until September 27, 2016, when an updated Arena Skirmish began.

In Legion, the Draenor Dungeons event was replaced by Legion Dungeons, and Apexis replaced by World Quests.

With the release of patch 8.0.1, the schedule remained unchanged but otherwise generally followed Legion precedent: No bonus events in the two weeks prior to launch of Battle for Azeroth, and beginning again five weeks later with Battle for Azeroth Dungeons on September 11, 2018.
