The hat reduces [[MP]] consumption by 25% (rounded up) as before, and provides [[Defense]] of +8. They are dropped by [[Firn fiend]] with a rate of 1/128, and may be equipped by [[priest]]s, [[mage]]s, and [[sage]]s. 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 chests that contain the topper, it is '''strongly''' recommended to bring a [[thief]] when attempting to snag one. | The hat reduces [[MP]] consumption by 25% (rounded up) as before, and provides [[Defense]] of +8.

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%'''. | 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%'''. | ||
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]] | In the 3DS remake, a superior hat called the '''Raving Mad Cap''' is available for the above mentioned characters.

The Mad cap only appears in the 3DS port of ''Dragon Quest VIII'', being available in the bonus dungeon. It may be equipped by everyone, meaning that if the Hero has mastered his Courage skillset, he can cast [[Omniheal]] for a scant '''14MP'''. It bolsters defence by +32. | The Mad cap only appears in the 3DS port of ''Dragon Quest VIII'', being available in the bonus dungeon.
