I unlocked this achievement today by fully upgrading the exotic shotgun Lord of Wolves from the House of Wolves DLC.
I had been unable to unlock this achievement since i started playing this game two months ago.
I fully upgraded 14 different non-DLC exotics without the achievement unlocking.
I am confident that the only way to unlock this achievement at this time is to fully upgrade 1 of the 4 House of Wolves DLC exotic weapons.
The 4 House of Wolves exotic weapons are:
347 Vesta Dynasty, Lord of Wolves, Queenbreakers’ Bow and Dreg’s Promise.
A house of wolves exotic weapon can be obtained via the Elder Cipher Exotic Bounty, randomly dropped only in level 34 & 35 by the Prison of Elders final boss.
The only other way to get this achievement at this time is to fully upgrade the Vex Mythoclast. This weapon can only be obtained by killing Atheon in the Vault of Glass on hard mode.

But I recetnly got a exotic shotgun from Xur, and fully upgrade this weapon with mote of light, and the achievement popped up for me. What I realised what was the difference between the shotgun I got from Xur from all the other guns, is that it dose not have a weapon ornament.
So I believe that you have to upgrade an Exotic weapon without the oranment options to get this achievement. Im not 100% sure, please confirm if it works.

Ascendant Energy: You can find this in multiple ways, such as Gold Ratings on Public Events (check destinypublicevents.com), running Raid Missions, or doing Daily or Weekly missions at the highest setting. You can also breakdown Legendary or Exotic weapons to get this material, allowing you to indirectly convert your Marks into Energy.
Materials: These can be farmed on any given planet by going into Monster Closets (the caves and rooms in which enemies spawn) and opening any chests you may find. You can create a loop and just continue going around in a circle as the chests will quickly despawn and spawn somewhere else. Because of the speed at which the chests despawn, it's important that you get in sync with any other players doing the same, or you may end up in their wake and not get anything. Recommended Locations: Rocket Yards (Earth), Archer's Line (Moon), Ember Caves (Venus), and Scablands (Mars).
Once you have the appropriate materials, it's just a matter of leveling up. At a normal rate, without the Nightfall experience boost or without using a "Telemetry item" sold by Xur, you need (to my best knowledge) 212,500 experience to get an Exotic to full experience. This can take quite some time. Do Bounties, patrol missions, and daily missions to get there faster.
It's going to take a while, but it's generally worth it. Once you upgrade the last part of the weapon, you'll unlock this trophy.
NOTE: With the upcoming Dark Below expansion, Bungie has said that your Exotics will continue to be useful. This may mean that after the expansion, they may have further room for improvement, making this trophy take longer. This is NOT confirmed, but you have been warned that this may be a possibility.

The important info first, yes, it is still possible to get this without owning The Taken King.
Using Exotic weapons gain XP and all XP gained contributes towards gaining the perks on the weapon. Completing bounties will contribute XP. Using Motes of Light will as well. The Gunsmith in the Tower also sells Primary, Special, and Heavy Telemetries. Those are consumables that will increase the amount of XP gained by a Primary, Special, or Heavy weapon for 30 minutes. For example, using a Heavy Telemetry with an unleveled Exotic heavy weapon (i.e. Thunderlord) will only need the use of six Motes of Light to unlock all of the perks. The perks will then need to be purchased with glimmer, Weapon Parts (available from dismantling weapons or purchasing them from the Gunsmith), and Planetary Materials (Spinmetal, Helium Filaments, Spirit Bloom, Relic Iron, or Wormspore).
Exotic weapons come in two flavors now, level 20 (Year 1) and level 40 (Year 2). The level 20 exotic weapons do not require The Taken King while the level 40 exotics do require it. The other difference is that level 20 exotics require the use of an exotic shard in order to ascend it and fully upgrade it. Level 40 exotics do not require ascension.
Level 20 exotics can be acquired from Year 1 Raids (Vault of Glass or Crota’s End) and Year 1 Prison of Elders (levels 28, 32, 34, and 35).
Level 40 exotics can be acquired from King’s Fall, Challenge of the Elders, Year 2 Prison of Elders (Level 41), Nightfall Strikes, and any Ultra boss using Three of Coins.
Note: Fully upgrading Zhalo Supercell may not unlock this trophy.
