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 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.
