They really start adding up quite quickly once you're past 280 IMO. Quite a few quests offer them as rewards and the daily soon won't be the struggle it is for you at the moment.Ah, good to remember. I've still got zero legendary marks to my name so such things are still beyond me.

Looking for two people to join me getting the exotic from the daily story on PS4. I've already soloed the first part to keep the door open. I'm waiting right outside the ketch now. Send me a friend request (PSN diggymow) or just join for you're on my friends list already.
Format?

So the destiny reddit mods deleted the original thread because of "too many unnecessary edits"
No need to panic *calms down*
hahaha! I like it!

Not totally sure about this facet yet; when you select the highest heroic level of a story mission on a day that it's the daily (since vanilla), it automatically puts you in the daily,
Wow, so this can be achieved tomorrow? I guess I'll focus on working up my light on strikes today then.
I don't understand how this rumor of it getting patched got started. Sounds tougher than getting some of the other guaranteed exotics really.

1. Bring Solar, Arc, and Void weapons. At least two people should have Solar/Void and one person should have Arc. I came with my Suros, Solar Fusion, and Void MG. Just making sure we were using the correct burns to take down shields saved us an additional 30 seconds!
2. In the boss room, take out adds first then damage the boss. Focus on the big balls of Taken energy or they will keep spawning adds.
3. Chain suppers.
4. Rinse repeat until everything is dead.

Need one more for spindle. PSN diggymow
ah, even so it's really weird to see people saying bungie will patch it or that this is a mistake when it's obviously a high level secret mission. There's probably a lot more hiding in the game like that spikey Titan armor.
I guess we'll see tomorrow but this is an intentional quest for an exotic. I don't see why they'd take it out.

So what is the consensus on Exotic Sword best to upgrade?
Some random thoughts from the past couple days of play:
The engram / light system continues to edge me upward every day - now at 274. I've been impressed that I have not hit a wall of any sort so far. It's a long, steady progression with the occasional burst forward with a good drop. I think they mostly fixed progression in year 2.
The allocation of legendary marks across activities is...weird. I run the daily story missions for 15 marks per day, and those are kind of tough so they feel earned. I just did my first daily Crucible match (3rd game ever). I started out with 3 kills without dying, then two people on my team quit, the others began running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and it was a mercy rule ending before half the match was over. But I still got the marks. So, I guess it's points for participation in PvP? I'll take'em but it felt very unearned. By comparison, 10 marks for a weekly Heroic strike is awful stingy, though there are of course other rewards for them. I guess getting bludgeoned into the ground with randoms will be part of my daily ritual for marks. :lol
Question: how many thingies do I need from the Dreadnought to get the sword? I'm up to 19 now but the quest doesn't tell me how many to get and I can't seem to figure out if that's enough.

I'm assuming getting it from non-Heroic was unintended?
People are also saying you can get it from the heroic version of the normal mission, not just the daily, so you could check that out.
My gf was ~240 when we first tried with her, and we managed to reach the boss without too much difficulty.
In that hellish room though, she was getting destroyed and couldn't help us enough to make it through. I feel like this is content for a team of 3 people in their 280~290s.

No way they will patch it, its one of those fights that good communication and synergy is key. For our team we used weapons of light, nightstalker and gunslinger with nighthawk.
I was running with the void raid RL for wizards in the pre last room (Taikonaut on titan helped as well, especially with heavy ammo drops), dishing out six rockets with WoD and NS buff on boss, then swapping to raid HMG for mob control.
This is the first exotic in game that i actually feel like i earned. It was a tough fight but felt very rewarding, maybe even more then the exotic swords or Touch of Malice.
Edit:
The feeling when you leave with with a Black Spindle.

I'm pretty sure the content in the Ketch is at least 290, if you look at the recommended level when you die. For one thing, the enemy shields are super resistant to the wrong damage types, unlike the enemies in the daily heroic.
No Time to Explain seems likely.

One more for the exotic from the daily heroic mission on PS4. There's two of us waiting right outside the warp to the ketch so we're ready to go. PSN: diggymow
I can't imagine that this is the only one.

It's unlikely you're going to complete it at 250 light. My party all had light levels between 295-300 and we still just barely beat it. I've seen teams with all 290 light having major difficulties.
Yeah, was unloading a whole Zhalos clip on those shielded knight and it was still not enough to break the shield.
Focused fire from all the teammates is the way to go.
Keep at it, was starting to get desesperate as well until we managed to do it.
The warlock in our team switching to solar was a HUGE help.

It says 240 in the final boss room. The amount of adds in there is crazy tho.
Sigh...gonna need to put my back support on this afternoon.
