The stick is one of the seventeen sword types available to players in the game. It can not be purchased from stores.

Pirates are given a free stick after the last sword in their inventory has dusted. The only other way to obtain a stick is to trade with a player who has had their last sword dust. Sticks themselves do not decay and will never dust. A stick will always have the distinct [ red | blue | green ] pattern.

The stick has the worst drop pattern in the game, as it is the most ineffective pattern that the Ringers could come up with (at the time).[1]

Despite being an abysmally bad sword, the stick finds a lot of use for that exact reason: "Stick wagers" are a very fun game mode for swordfighters of all skill-levels to bet their items.

Historical notes

Sticks were added in the game with release 2003-12-19. Prior to that, if a pirate's last sword dusted, they had no sword, and were given a red/red foil for swordfights.

Prior to release 2008-11-19 pirates could not trash sticks held in the inventory, and they were not destroyed by acquiring a new sword. Other than keeping the sticks on the character, a pirate's only options were to put them in sword racks or trade them away.
