Common Patterns

Iterate Quest Log

local numEntries, numQuests = C_QuestLog.GetNumQuestLogEntries() for i = 1, numEntries do local info = C_QuestLog.GetInfo(i) if info and not info.isHeader then local questID = info.questID local title = info.title local isComplete = C_QuestLog.IsComplete(questID) print(title, isComplete and "(Complete)" or "") end end

Track/Untrack Quest

local function ToggleQuestWatch(questID) if C_QuestLog.IsQuestWatched(questID) then C_QuestLog.RemoveQuestWatch(questID) else C_QuestLog.AddQuestWatch(questID, Enum.QuestWatchType.Automatic) end end

World Quests on Map

local function GetWorldQuestsOnMap(uiMapID) local quests = C_TaskQuest.GetQuestsForPlayerByMapID(uiMapID) if quests then for _, quest in ipairs(quests) do local title = C_TaskQuest.GetQuestInfoByQuestID(quest.questId) local timeLeft = C_TaskQuest.GetQuestTimeLeftMinutes(quest.questId) print(title, timeLeft and (timeLeft .. " min left") or "") end end end

Quest Completion Event Handling

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame") frame:RegisterEvent("QUEST_TURNED_IN") frame:RegisterEvent("QUEST_ACCEPTED") frame:RegisterEvent("QUEST_REMOVED") frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...) if event == "QUEST_TURNED_IN" then local questID, xpReward, moneyReward = ... print("Completed quest:", C_QuestLog.GetTitleForQuestID(questID)) elseif event == "QUEST_ACCEPTED" then local questID = ... print("Accepted quest:", C_QuestLog.GetTitleForQuestID(questID)) elseif event == "QUEST_REMOVED" then local questID, wasReplayQuest = ... print("Quest removed:", questID) end end)

Gotchas & Restrictions

  • Quest data may not be loaded — Call C_QuestLog.RequestLoadQuestByID(questID) and wait for QUEST_DATA_LOAD_RESULT before accessing quest info for quests not in the log.

  • GetInfo returns headers — Quest log entries include headers (zones). Check info.isHeader to filter.

  • Quest watch limit — There's a maximum number of tracked quests. AddQuestWatch() returns false if at limit.

  • Auto-accept quests — Some quests auto-accept. Check QuestGetAutoAccept() to handle gracefully.

  • World quest vs regular — World quests use C_TaskQuest functions, not C_QuestLog for map display.

  • Quest gossip flow — Quest accept flow: QUEST_GREETING → QUEST_DETAIL → AcceptQuest() → QUEST_ACCEPTED .

  • Campaign quests — Use C_CampaignInfo.IsCampaignQuest() to identify story quests.

  • Objective data — GetQuestObjectives() returns a table with text , type , finished , numFulfilled , numRequired per objective.
