Did this come from hell? It did, didn't it? Awww, man. It's like what the Devil uses when he plugs up his toilet or somethin'. — The Scout

”

The Sun-on-a-Stick is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It appears as an ornate jet-black mace topped with a glowing fiery orb and black spikes.

The Sun-on-a-Stick deals 15% less damage when compared to the Bat, but guarantees a Mini-Crit when the Scout bashes a burning enemy with it.

Players who pre-ordered RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011 received a Genuine quality version of the weapon. The March 1, 2011 Patch made these weapons tradable. It was originally stated that normal quality versions would be available via crafting after the pre-order period ended. However, the details on this are still unknown. Note: crafting this weapon will not result in the Genuine quality prefix.
