A Broken Will

"The story of a sword and its wielder."

- In-game description

A Broken Will is a level 38 Quest obtained from Lord Shaxx which requires Guardians to patrol the Dreadnaught collecting twenty-five Hadium Flakes and ten Motes of Light to forge one of three Legendary Swords: Arc Edge, Sol Edge, or Void Edge. The quest has three primary steps. After a Guardian successfully forges one of the legendary swords, they may fully reforge it into an Exotic sword, beginning the Quest aptly named A Sword Reforged.

Shard of Darkness

Reforging the Blade
"Hadium reacts to both the Light and the Darkness. The Dreadnaught should have plenty of it."

- Ghost
