Info
Added in 4.3.0 / 1.15.0

Returns info about a specific encounter in an LFG/RF dungeon.

bossName, texture, isKilled, unknown4 = GetLFGDungeonEncounterInfo(dungeonID, encounterIndex)

Arguments

dungeonID

number - Ranging from 1 to around 2000 in patch 8.1.5

encounterIndex

number - Index from 1 to GetLFGDungeonNumEncounters(). For multi-part raids, many bosses will never be accessible to players because they were in an earlier 'wing'.

Returns

bossName

string - The localized name of the encounter in question

texture

string - The file path for a texture associated with the encounter, usually an achievement icon. If Blizzard hasn't designated one for the encounter, expect this return to be nil.

isKilled

boolean - True if you have killed/looted the boss since the last reset period

unknown4

boolean - Unused by Blizzard, has an unknown purpose, and seems to always be false

Example

/dump GetLFGDungeonEncounterInfo(610,1)
=> "Jin'rokh the Breaker", nil, true, false

Patch changes

Patch 4.3.0 (2011-11-29): Added.

• GetLFGDungeonInfo - A more generic function; it allows you to pull up information on the dungeon itself instead of the individual encounters
