Details

This function does not work for quests being viewed from the player's quest log. Use GetQuestLogRewardCurrencyInfo instead. Check QuestInfoFrame.questLog to determine whether the quest info frame is currently displaying a quest log quest or not.

Example

Print a list of currencies rewarded by the currently viewed quest to the chat frame:

local numRewardCurrencies = GetNumRewardCurrencies()
if numRewardCurrencies > 0 then
   print("This quest rewards", numRewardCurrencies, "currencies:")
   for i = 1, numRewardCurrencies do
      local name, texture, numItems
      if QuestInfoFrame.questLog then
         name, texture, numItems = GetQuestLogRewardCurrencyInfo(i)
      else
         name, texture, numItems = GetQuestCurrencyInfo("reward", i)
      end
      print(format("\124T%s:0\124t %dx %s", texture, numItems, name))
   end
else
   print("This quest does not reward any currencies.")
end
