Prey Hunt Bar

Prey Hunt Bar is a standalone addon for World of Warcraft Retail that replaces Blizzard’s default Prey Hunt widget with a cleaner, easier-to-read custom bar.

Originally developed as part of LootCompass and later expanded into its own standalone addon, it is built specifically for current Prey Hunt content and supports Normal, Hard, and Nightmare hunts. The addon focuses on presenting the important information clearly without adding unnecessary clutter.

What it does

Prey Hunt Bar shows your current hunt state in a compact custom bar, along with the active boss, difficulty, affixes, warning states, and final hunt location support.

It is designed for players who want a cleaner alternative to Blizzard’s default widget while keeping the addon lightweight and focused.

Warning and affix support
