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 agree. I haven't deleted any of my swords but I obtained all three before trying to get any of the exotic swords. I then upgraded two swords to 280 light on the same character and now I can't get the Dark-drinker. We did all three knights at the same time because my two fireteam members were going for different swords than I was (It was stupid hard btw, I don't recommend trying it that way. Just do one or two at a time unless you're well over 300 light). I've tried switching the sword back and forth and the exotic quest never pops up. I assume raising it to 280 light is the quest trigger and maybe it would've worked if I hadn't already started the arc quest on my titan when I did it. Deleting a character and starting all over sounds incredibly painful. Even if I can just straight to level 25, getting all my classes upgraded would take forever. I still haven't finished nightstalker.
