The Sun-on-a-Stick is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It appears as an ornate jet-black mace with orange veins, topped with a glowing fiery orb and black spikes.
This weapon delivers 25% less damage than the default Bat, but guarantees a critical hit whenever a player strikes a burning enemy with it.
Players who pre-purchased RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011, received a Genuine quality version of the weapon along with the Sharpened Volcano Fragment.

February 3, 2011 Patch
- The Sun-on-a-Stick was added to the game.

- [Undocumented] Reduced the cost of the Sun-on-a-Stick's recipe by one Reclaimed Metal.
