So yeah, the title says it all.
(No, I'm not an 8 year old crying for attention because I made a mistake. Just hear me out.)
Basically, I was running a strike and got half way through it until I picked up a rare heavy that had dropped. Having Sol Edge equipped, I opened my inventory, went to my heavy slot, and looked to see if the rare was any good. Seeing that it wasn't something I needed and at the same time noticing that I was needed in the strike, I hurriedly went about trying to delete it but instead I equipped the rare and held down the button to dismantle (because Sol Edge moved to the slot that the rare had recently occupied) and BOOM! Before I could take my finger off the button, It got dismantled into a ruin, some materials, and a few marks. Thinking to myself, you're an idiot. You're really an idiot. After I stopped staring at the screen in shock and horror, I went and finished the strike so my Fireteam (randoms) wouldn't have to wait on me.
So yeah, I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. Honestly, I wouldn't be so mad if I could get the sword back. Even if that means grinding for another hour. I would do it. But I can't. Because I can't get the quest again. I can't get all three swords unless I deleted a character. I don't want to have to do all the stuff again on one of my characters for the sword. I would though, happily do the quest again to get the Sol Edge sword back on my hunter. In the end, it's just a video game. But, I was already so attached to that sword that I felt sad when I saw it go.
I would really like to get all three swords and not have to re-do a character for something so simple as a few button presses/holds.
Could this be food for thought Deej?
Bump if you think that a second chance for the "Sword Quest" should be an option.
(I don't think that it would be a problem with people farming materials from it because of it taking so much time to complete. It really wouldn't be worth dismantling)
-
I accidentally discarded 875 weapon parts by accident while lvling up w motes. It could be worse.
-
U do know u can lock your guns so this never happens
-
This is why I lock all of my gear. Option isn't needed to redo the quest because the option is there to lock your gear.
-
Have you tried to abandon the quest and go to the kiosk behind ikora? You should be able to pick it up there. I don't know if it lets you start over though. Try that
-
It's an exotic they should make it purchase able from the kiosk at 280 like the rest of the weapons in case some one accident tally fck up
-
Secondly makes msg a new character ain't too bad because u will still have ur gear and probably the lvl 25 spark
-
If you take what you got from dismantling it to the gunsmith he will make the sword for you ;)
-
Blueprints?
-
What about the quest kiosk or the exotic weapon wall
-
Yeah i didn't have my raid sniper locked and infused it into to something else by accident. Very sad because it is a good sniper to us with touch of malice
-
This is why locking is a thing, people. Lock EVERYTHING that has value to you
-
This reminds me of the time i deleted my first icebreaker. I sat and stared at the screen for a few minutes trying to process what I just did. I feel for you but as in life you learn from your mistakes and next time will lock your weapons. At least in my case xur went on a roll selling ice breakers shortly after but in your case you may need to roll a new char :(
-
There should be a way to lock weapons to prevent accidental deletion. DeeJ?
-
dude lock it!
-
[b]Pro-Tip[/b]: LOCK YOUR DAMN ITEMS THAT ARE GOOD!
-
You should have locked it.

Edited by DorsalCoast8729: 10/24/2015 5:08:40 PMYou can buy it back from the exotic weapon kiosk....downfall is its only 280◇ not 310. That sucks i did the same exact thing to my hung jury. -blam!-ing sucks
-
Maybe the original quest line is in the abandon quest kiosk? Another option to get a new sword is simply make a new character. Oh but you probably can't complete the exotic sword quest on that character unless you initiated it before dismantling the Sol edge. (If you did initiate it prior to deleting you'll need another sword to complete it but doesnt have to be the original)
-
I rerolled a toon because i managed to dismantle my sol edge the moment i got i like an idiot... I can't get the quest again it seems. :( got through the story missions. Planted the beacons. Got calcified fragments for eris. Annnd no love from shaxx.
-
Go to the exotic weapons schematic terminal. You will find it there!
-
You can still get it in tower armory
-
Having done this myself, l feel for you, but on a positive note, guardians who read this will check to ensure favourite weapons are locked to prevent unfortunate deletion as did my friends
-
Delete a character, it's your only option if you want all 3 again. Sucks man, lock it next time.
-
No sympathy for the fool.
-
Go buy another from the kiosk
-
Another thing; [b]OP says he dismantled [i]Sol Edge[/i], not [i]Raze Lighter.[/i][/b]
