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)

Don't be a fool, lock your tool.
-
When you love something, lock it. That is all I have for you my friend.
-
That's a good idea
-
What ruin did you get? Your "sacrifice" might benefit us all if it proves useful in the future
-
Use the lock item. Be smart. Play safe
-
Why isn't it locked, exactly?
-
What about exotic kiosk?
-
Locking stuff is a thing too.
-
You should've locked it.
-
I have the same problem and checked already whether I can get it again via abondoned quests but there is nothing - me mad like hell about my stupid mistake and since yesterday I have no fun anymore to play with my Warlock. At the moment I think the only way is that I have to re-do my Warlock so I tried to pull everything in my vault but not that much vault space.

-
Dunno if it works, but seen a few people mention it - go find the abandoned quest kiosk in the tower (I believe it's in the vanguard hall, on the right about half way down) and see if you can retake the quest? Hope it helps!
-
I dismantled mine on purpose. Not a sword guy.
-
Have u tried looking at abondoned quest vendor/machine in vanguard room? U may be able to repick it up?

Edited by SkreeminChkn: 9/17/2015 6:20:06 AMShould've locked that bitch. I lock everything I get no matter what, then sort it out at the tower.
-
Hey I hate that for you. You'll get another one! (I hope I'm not sure what sol of edge is)
