The hat reduces {{MP}} consumption in battle by 25% (rounded up) and provides a {{Defence}} of +4 (+8 in the remakes.)
*In the NES version, the game is programmed so that enemies will not drop a second map cap if one is already in the inventory.
 
*MP consumption is only reduced '''in battle''' in every version except Mobile.
They are dropped by [[tyrannodactyl]]s, [[Pazuzu]], and [[Hargon]] at a rate of {{fraction|1|128}}, and at a rate of {{fraction|1|16}} by [[liquid metal slime]]s in the Android/iOS version. Fortunately, each of the remake versions also feature a mad cap obtainable in a chest found in the [[Cave to Rendarak]]. It is the only helmet equippable by both the [[Prince of Cannock]] and the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]].

The hat reduces {{MP}} consumption by 25% (rounded up) as before, and provides {{Defence}} of +8. They are dropped by [[hocus chimaera]] at a rate of 1/64 and by [[firn fiend]] at a rate of 1/128, and may be equipped by [[Priest]]s, [[Mage]]s, [[Merchant]], [[Gadabout]]s, and [[Sage]]s, as well as [[Thief|Thieves]] in remake versions. The {{MP}} reduction rate can be combined with the [[Glombolero]] for extra-economic casting. Because of the minuscule drop rate and the absence of any {{chest}}s that contain the topper, it is '''strongly''' recommended to bring a thief when attempting to snag one.

Returning after a long absence, the mad cap can be equipped by everyone except for [[Kiefer]], increases defence by +8, style by +5, and now cuts {{MP}} costs by '''50%'''. One can be found in the [[Cave to Another World]] and more can be acquired by winning them as prizes from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]]s found at [[Buccanham]] and [[The Haven]].

In the {{3DS}} remake, a superior hat called the '''raving mad cap''' is available for the above mentioned characters. It increases {{Defence}} by +13, {{Style}} by +8, and cuts spell costs by '''75%'''. Unfortunately, the game's programming does not allow this to stack with the [[Sage]] and [[Druid]] {{MP}} discounts due to only selecting the best reduction rate instead of adding them. The cap is available upon the first completion of the [[DLC Tablet]] ''True Steel'' by defeating the [[Überkilling machine]]

The mad cap boosts defence by 32 points and the magical might by 27 points, and reduces MP consumption by 25%. It can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Maribel]], [[Ruff]], [[Aishe]], and [[Sir Mervyn]]. It cannot be purchased nor sold, and it is only dropped by [[Baron von Bellycose]] or awarded for turning in 75 [[mini medal]]s.

The mad cap only appears in the {{3DS}} port of {{Dragon Quest VIII}}, with only two being available; one in the [[bonus dungeon]], the [[Dragovian Path]] and another in the [[Altar of Wroth]]. It may be equipped by everyone, meaning that if the {{Hero 8}} has mastered his Courage skillset, he can cast [[Omniheal]] for a scant '''14 {{MP}}'''. It bolsters {{Defence}} by +32.
