- Movement speed can't be increased or decreased by any means other than Acceleration. Madogear is immune to all slow debuffs, including curse status.
- Immune to Divest Accessory.
- Increased movement speed based on level of Madogear License. On level 5, movement speed is equal to Peco Peco Ride.
- Have natural HP recovery like normal state.
- Weight limit increased by 1500.
- Slim Style Madogear is available from Madogear Merchant in Weapon shops across towns.

All of the skills can only be cast when the required gear is in your inventory. Exception: Hover skill requires you to equip the Hovering Booster.
All of the Mado specific gears can be purchased from the Black Marketeer in Prontera armory or Kafra Mail Annex .
Overheating
If your Madogear receives too much damage, it will overheat and you will be inflicted with the overheat status. You can increase the damage threshold of your Madogear by learning Remodel Mainframe, and prevent infliction of the status by using Cooldown.
Note: Overheat is not fatal, but will lower the player's HP to 1 continuously until the Madogear is removed or Cooldown is used.
Limitations
Receiving skills:
When wearing Madogear, the player is unable to receive certain supportive skills, such as:
However, the player can receive Increase Agility from Cantocandidus.
**Note:When Coluseo skill is cast within a party, the Heal will stop being delivered depending on the Party member list, from top to bottom. For example: If the Mado Mechanic is party member #3, no heal will be delivered to party members 3-12. This seems to be a bug that also can be seen when a party member receives Undead Status. It is recommended to put any Madogear Mechanics to the bottom of the party.
Using skills:
When wearing Madogear, the player is unable to actively cast non-Mechanic skills. However, there are exceptions.
The following non-mechanic skills can be cast by a Madogear user:
- Greed
- Teleport
- Skills that are cast by using an item/scroll (unless it's a skill you can't receive - see above) such as:
- Any Auto-cast Skills from equipment that triggers when being attacked or attacking, such as:
Note: Skills enabled by equipments, such as Heal from Vitata Card, can't be used.
Skills that don't work on Madogear users in general, such as Heal, Increase Agility and Adrenaline Rush, only work when being auto-cast with Equipments.
Note: The lists are incomplete.
