I wanted to clarify a couple things as the other post is getting out of hand with hazy information so: NOTE*** You MUST have the swords on the SAME character to work. If you give it to another character, this will not work) You do NOT need to have an Exotic sword in order to get the quest line for the other two swords. You will however, have to progress with one sword and have gotten past 50 majors/ 25 crucible kills, and then killing the sword carrier on the Dreadnaught. The next two swords you do get past 280 and level up to the last bubble will start you at the point of collecting resources. You CAN have multiple Sword Quests on ONE character. They do not have to be split amongst characters: Here's my Hunter Quests as proof: https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xlt1/v/t1.0-9/12032925_10153105791802927_8732457696645597472_n.jpg?oh=b3d5019fc34d5134630c3b79365840f8&oe=569EB957
