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 15% less damage than the default Bat, but guarantees a mini-crit when the Scout bashes a burning enemy with it.

Players who pre-purchased RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011, received a Genuine quality version of the weapon.

Blueprint

Reclaimed Metal Boston Basher Sun-on-a-Stick
Item icon Reclaimed Metal.pngx3 + Item icon Boston Basher.png = Item icon Sun-on-a-Stick.png


[[Scout Token|Template:Dictionary/items/scout token]] [[Melee Token|Template:Dictionary/items/melee token]] Scrap Metal Possible Results
Token scout large.png + Token melee large.png + Item icon Scrap Metal.png =
Item icon Sandman.png Item icon Holy Mackerel.png Item icon Candy Cane.png Item icon Boston Basher.png
Item icon Sun-on-a-Stick.png Item icon Fan O'War.png

Notes:

  • The first blueprint requires 3 Reclaimed Metal specifically and will not function with 1 Refined Metal, despite their equal value.
  • The second blueprint simply makes a Scout's melee weapon; there is still a chance of getting the Sandman, Holy Mackerel, Candy Cane, Boston Basher, or Fan O'War instead. There will be approximately a 16.67% chance of crafting this item using the second blueprint.

Trivia

  • According to Trion Worlds' press release for the promotion, the Sun-on-a-Stick was originally intended to use the Boston Basher's stats.[1]
