The Sun-on-a-Stick is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It is 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.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011.
