I. IntroductionI. IntroductionI. IntroductionI. Introduction
First of all, the guide is still in a work in progress. It would still continue to evolve with the numerous upcoming patches plus the
collective input of all. As i am doing this, Renewal is yet to be implemented to out very own servers so this guide is just a
compilation of what we currently know.
This guide is devised for those who neither frequent the boards nor visit other RO information sites, let alone research.
I advise the reader to be ready to read a large wall of text because i would really try to make this indepth to cater both the new and
veteran players. Mind you though, that i wouldnt dwell on Blacksmith/Mastersmith tidbits because i assume that most, if not all
things related to 2nd/Transcendent jobs.
Seeing the Mechanic job as the job that hasn't received that much attention, both by players and Gravity, this guide may be of little
use. But if somebody did get interested in the rustbucket that MS'es would turn to be, then read on. I am also wishing, albeit
impossible, that whoever designs the job gets a conscience call and buff us up.
Long introduction, overdue. I give you information on the Mechanic.

Mechanic Tools Subsection 1: STATS
QUOTE(iRO Wiki)
Renewal Stats
Strength (STR) *
- 1 point of STR increases status physical attack power by 1
- 1 point of STR increases your weight limit by 30
Agility (AGI)
- 1 point of AGI increases flee rate by 1
- 5 points of AGI increases status defense by 1
- Each point of AGI increases attack speed (aspd) by a good amount
Vitality (VIT)
- 1 point of VIT increases your Max HP by 1%
- 1 point of VIT increases your recovery rate by 2%
- 2 points of VIT increases your status defense by 1
- 5 points of VIT increases your status magic defense by 1
Inteligence (INT)
- 1 point of INT increases your status magic attack by 1.5
- 2 points of INT increases your status magic defense by 1
- Each point of INT decreases your variable cast time by a bit (about half much as dex)
Dexterity (DEX) *
- 1 point of DEX increases your hit rate by 1
- 5 points of DEX increases your status magic defense by 1
- 5 points of DEX increases your status magic attack by 1
- 5 points of DEX increases your status physical attack power by 1
- Each pont of DEX increases attack speed (aspd) by a very low amount
- Each point of DEX Decreases your casttime by a good amount
Luck (LUK)
- 1 point of LUK increases your Critical by 0.3
- 3 points of LUK increases your status physical attack power by 1
- 3 points of LUK increases your status magical attack power by 1
- 3 points of LUK increases your hit by 1
- 5 points of LUK increases your flee by 1
- 10 points of LUK increases your perfect dodge by 1
Base Level
- 1 level increases your HIT rate by 1.
- 1 level increases your FLEE rate by 1.
- 2 levels increases your status DEF by 1
- 4 levels increases your status ATK by 1.
- 4 levels increases your status MATK by 1.
- 4 levels increases your status MDEF by 1.
* With bows, guns, musical instruments and whips, the increase in physical attack power from Dex and Str are swapped, making
Dex the primary damage stat.
Stat allocation
When becoming 3rd class you are able to spend more statpoints on your stats, your basestats can go up to 120.
However, while stats from 1-99 will cost the classic amount of statpoints (2~10 : 2 points each, 11~20 : 3 points each, 21~30 : 4
points each) stats over 99 will cost you more:
100 -> 104: 16 points each
105 -> 109: 20 points each
110 -> 114: 24 points each
115 -> 119: 28 points each
Job Bonuses @ Job 50
STR: 6 AGI: 3 VIT: 7 INT: 5 DEX: 3 LUK: 5
Summarily, Mechanics still need his usual stats: STR, VIT, DEX and AGI. But with the advent of Renewal, the Mechanic also would
have to consider having LUK in his/her build since there comes a time when a point of a certain stat would cost high as having put
several points into others. Example: Say you have 105 STR. To gain 1 more Status ATK (STR 106), you would have to invest 20
points. That same 20 points when put to a base 1 LUK stat would increase it to 10 leaving your with 3 additional Status ATK (10/3 =
3.3).
More indepth placement of Stats would be added on the next section, Mechanic Types.

Mechanic Types Subsections:1. Mado-Mechanic2. Master-Mechanic
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mechanic Types Subsection 1: Mado-Mechanic
Description: The Mado-mechanic is the mechanic type that defies the norm for smith classes. Instead of focusing on dealing huge
DPS,the Mado-mech is a support type character invaluable to guilds and parties. Expertise on areaattacks and buffs plus status
infliction, the Mado-mech proves useful in any adventure. Unlike its damage minded predecessor, BS and MS, and its offensive
counterpart, Mecha-Mastersmiths, Mado-mechs deal slightly less damage. If you enjoy riding a robot to support and be useful in any
situation, be a Mado-mech.

Mado-Mechanic Stats:
Base Stats Legend:
- = 1~20
X = 20~39
XX = 40~59
XXX = 60~79
XXXX = 80~99
XXXXX = 100~120
STATS:
STR: XXXXX
AGI: -
DEX: XXXXX
VIT: XXXXX
INT: XX
LUK: XXX
Stat Justification:
As the rest of the classes, except innate ranged classes, STR is taken for S.ATK and weight capacity AGI is ignored since
Mado-mechs are heavy skill users, skills that are independent of aspd. DEX is for casting reductions and HIT. VIT is obviously for
tanking purposes. INT is taken for little SP, minimal reduction on variable cast time and SP regeneration. Mado skills dont base
themselves on mATK but on ATK instead. Also LUK is added for its numerous bonuses. Incomparable in terms of damage (even
with high STR) to DPS/Heavy hitter offensive classes, Mado-mechs more than make up with his skills so DEX for reducing casting
time and INT for SP is a need. VIT is also gotten for stun resistance especially if one aims to WOE with it. Classic SVD builds would
bode well for this type but with the inclusion of LUK, it became better.

Skill Explanation:
If one wants to be a Mado-mech, one would have numerous routes to choose from. Starting with Base Mado skills, by combining
several purpose skills, you can create a shawarma of skills that could give the edge to your guild and party. If the mech aims to
be a support mech, he should get all the support purpose skills. It wont take all skill points so, he could also choose some other
offensive skills or situational skills. A Stealth Barrier Mech could also get the sliding skills to be a maneuverable Protoss Arbiter. A
Self Destruct Mado may get Magnetic Field so as his targets wouldnt go away from the blast radius. A Cold Slower Mech may also
get Analyze for DEF reductions + Slow. Neutral Barrier Mados can get the never miss Arm Cannon to hit enemies outside the
barrier. And the list goes on. Thats what makes Mado mechs so valuable. They are versatile pieces of equipment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mechanic Types Subsection 2: Mecha-Mastersmith
Description: Mecha-Mastersmiths are Mastersmits (required to transcend) that got upgraded with more HP/SP and a whole lotta
firepower. Their main skill would still be High Speed Cart Ram like their predecessors. Though unlike pre-renewal MSes, HSCR just
got more deadly. The mecha-smiths benefits from insane HSCR DPS (with % cards working on ram unlike before) plus the added
firepower of the Fixed Autonomous Weapons (FAWs). Its main focus would still be offense, different from its supportive Mado
Mechanic counterpart.

Mecha-Mastersmith Stats:
Base Stats Legend:
- = 1~20
X = 20~39
XX = 40~59
XXX = 60~79
XXXX = 80~99
XXXXX = 100~120
STATS:
STR: XXXXX (100~)
AGI: XXXX or XXXXX (80~100+)
DEX: XXX or XXXX (60~99)
VIT: XXXX or XXXXX (80~100+)
INT: -
LUK: XX or XXX (40~79)
Stat Justification:
STR is taken to increase s.atk and weight limit for carrying. AGI is taken to increase ASPD given renewal's new aspd formula. VIT
is taken for HP, s.def and some s.mdef. DEX is for hit, minimum addition to both s.atk and aspd. LUK is added to get a rather high
addition to s.atk (especially when STR points costs too much), hit and flee. The stat build is built just like the old mastersmith
design: Get high ATK as you can, have considerable HIT and have the highest ASPD that you can muster and you have a cookie-
cutter MS. Recent developments in equips gave us builds with VIT, solving Stun problems. Its only reasonable to reapply the
concepts of the old to the new considering the only major difference would be HSCR damage, aspd computations and worth of
both AGI and LUK stats.
QUOTE
Master-Mechanic Skills:
Base Master-Mechanic Skills:
All of the Battle/Buff Skills of the Mastersmith
Offense Skills:
FAW - Silver Sniper
FAW - MAgic Decoy
Axe Boomerang
Axe Tornado
Power Swing
Situational Skills:
Axe Training
Research Fire and Earth
Skill Explanation:
Mecha-smiths focus on all the axe skills and masteries as a Mechanic. He doesnt use a Mado for the sole reason that Mado Mechs
cant use HSCR. So instead of totting a mech, Mecha-smiths eye the remaining skills. Masteries such as Axe Training and Research
Fire and Earth give numerous bonuses including additional ATK that multiplies according to skill modifiers including HSCR. The
other skills might be mediocre to the point of no use but hey, youll use HSCR anyways. Axe Boomerang is an added ranged skill
that may serveas the finishing blow. Power Swing is a good alternative (due to Stun chances) to Mammonite when zeny shortage
occurs. Axe Tornado is great for mobbing, pvm-wise. HSCR plus FAWs not only give Master-mechs range, but firepower too. Then
there are still other strange builds involving Mado use by a Master-mech. They strap on a Mado, Self Destruct, pot really quick,
then Ram. Insane, but useful indeed.

In renewal nearly all physical attackskills are affected by % cards, even HSCR, acidbomb, SD, etc.
Right now i cant give you a single physical attack skill that is not affected by % cards
(except maybe stuff like throw venom knife or traps).
================================
Yoyo - 192
Silver Sniper FAW: Seemed to attack at ~170 or less aspd, and the Atk listed in the description is just a bonus damage
to its normal damage (Which seems to be about my Atk, but I'm not sure).
================================
Yoyo - 192
Magic Decoy FAW: Quite literally, a mini-immobile-warlock/professor.
Every 2~3 seconds, it casts fast (~1 second cast, maybe less) lv.10 bolts
(Even earth spike lv.10) with 500 matk, which is a lot right now. It was hitting 9k Lv.10 Earth Spikes on Sky Petites,
which are only Wind 1.
================================
Doddler - 290
The Silver Sniper would be much better if it reliably hit its target and maybe a bit stronger.
The Magic Decoy has similar matk as the silver snipers physical attack,
and technically does 1 attack for every 3-5 of the silver sniper, but the decoy never misses
and uses magic bolts that deal 10x matk damage. If you take into account elemental weaknesses, the decoy is much stronger.
================================
Sarune - 297
Some fun notes:
FAW is affected by Lex. Yes, even the magical one.
FAW (probably) works with Mind Breaker/Eske.
FAW activates skills from weapons/cards
(You can see it activating the def ignoring ability of my Twin Edge sword in the video)
FAW is not reduced by Thara Frog

@ anyone planning stats for post-renewal.
1. Don't max your stats. Don't get 120. The points after 100 [101-120] are so expensive they're better spent on
something else.
2. Get Luk. It's so nice and grants so many bonuses now I'd actually recommend having at least 30-60 luk on EVERY
CLASS.
3. Get Agi. You can't stack on aspd skills/equipment for insane aspd anymore. Agi also reduces chance of
getting status ailments as of the newest patch today. Even some people playing caster classes prefer to have agi now.
4. Dex is a no-brainer.

Doddler
Freezing status is a killer, its clear he's intending to use it to cause status effects,
its the entire reason why you'd play MADO. If you wanted to kill people, you'd just go cart ram people.
Lots of the time he was just being screwed by genetics.
There were a few times where there was a 2 second cast time on front side slide, and you know his ability to do...
anything is severely impaired.
Skills he uses:
Hovering - He clearly walks over quagmires and firewalls without being affected.
Not sure what combat skills he was able to avoid because of this because of how much was going on.
Front Side Slide - Pretty nice movement skill
Flame Launcher - Didn't use it much, used it when he actually intended to kill someone.
Cold Slower - Used mainly as a debuff. Freezing status is bad news. It slows you movement,
make you attack slower, make you cast a lot slower, and drops your defense. Basically, it screws any class that gets
it into being ineffective. You see how many warmers are set up by sorcerers in siege? Freezing is the reason.
Magnetic Field - He used it several times to immobilize his opponents. Usually he uses it before he self destructs.
Self Destruct - I don't think anyone in the video was hit by this and didn't die.
Neutral Barrier - A couple times when players went to melee him they were completely useless.
Well, one crit GX still owned him.
Infrared Scan - Uses a couple times, it's a pretty cool area revealing skill.
Analyze - Not sure the point of using this in siege, I guess it makes targets softer for other attacks,
but I'm not certain targets can get very 'hard' in siege, so I dunno.

Clogon - 1586
Pile Bunker deals more damage than HF especially at High STR.
Edit:
Look at it this way:
450 atk > 332 atk
1h weapon > 2h weapon
100% on medium > 75% on medium
300 weight > 350 weight
Plus since Pile Bunk is a 1h weapon, you can use shield and get over refine bonus.

Clogon - 1682
You only get the stated mod in the description at 150. This would explain why jRO players say Mado's are weak
because they are. We can pvp tonight if you want to see how accurate it is.
================================
Clogon - 1694
@Charon:
They recently changed how masteries work. They are even better than Pre RE. They are non elemental. (not reduced by
Ghost)
But they are increased by skill mods. so 75 mastery damage with a 1000% skill will add 750 damage!
================================
Clogon - 1694
Also Self Destruct can do a lot of damage. It deals:
Current HP + 25*s.lvl*(SP+X)/3 -s.def -e.def.
I think X=Vit but I still need more tests to confirm. Gonna be busy on Valkyrie this week so don't expect
more info from me any time soon. And yes the -e.def is not a typo. Just like in GF/Asura's testing,
e.def is only a substraction from the final damage. And like any damage that does not use atk or matk,
it bypsses all % reduction effects like Elemental resistance and Elemental, Racial and Size reductions.
I do not know its element yet though.
================================
Atum - 1697
There are alot of problems with the mado/mechanic:
-mados can not be healed
-losing mado when dieing
-blacksmith skills not useable while using mado
-emergency cooldown does not remove heat status
-items (fuel/cannon balls/cooling shells) are way too heavy
-damage output quite disappointing (both mado and normal mechanic) compared to other offensive classes, like RG or Shura
-since arm cannon is forced neutral ghost cannon ball is useless
-cooldown of certain skills (neutral barrier/stealth field/magnetic field) is too high
-stealth field doesnt affect the caster
-hovering doesn't protect vs ground targeted skills (not sure if they fixed it)
-mado accessories still dont have their special effects back
-FAWs are way too expensive, too short duration, too weak, can not be repaired, have not enough hit to hit higher
level monsters, can die easily
================================
Atum - 1701
Targets that use skills/attacks while in Stealth field area get unhidden for a short amount of time and get
cloaked again after the skillcast animation ended.
Just played around with FAWs:
Silver FAW:
-about 160~170 aspd (very low, 1-1.5 attacks per sec)
-600~700 damage on centipedes
-has problems hitting highlevel monsters (misses pretty frequently on centipedes)
-has 7~9k hp, can be destroyed by friendly fire
Magic faw :
-Deals about 5~6k damage per cast on centipedes (no elemental advantage)
-About 1 cast every 3 seconds (maybe same casttime/aftercastdelay as normal lvl 10 bolt)
-has 7~9k hp, can be destroyed by friendly fire
================================
Atum - 1707
Just tested, FAW stats are completely independant from Mechanics stats, the attack power,
hit rate and aspd are always the same no matter what equip/stats the Mechanic has.
================================
Atum - 1710
Just finished testing the changed Neutral Barrier.
Changes:
Neutral Barrier
-no longer blocks melee attacks
-blocks all physical long ranged attacks
-blocks all damage dealing magic attacks
So it basically is a moving Pneuma that works against both long ranged attacks and magic attacks.
At the same time all physical long ranged attacks/physical long ranged skills that do not ignore flee done from
inside the Neutral-Barrier casting Mechanic will miss so while Neutral Barrier is up Arm Cannon is your only really
good attack skill (unless you get the other short-ranged Mechanic skills like Axe Tornado).
However that also means that if the enemy gets right next to you the enemy will also be protected by your
Neutral Barrier so Arm cannon will miss.
Against monsters it only blocks magic and physical long ranged skills if you are standing more than 4 cells away
from the casting monster, which sucks
Only hardcoded long ranged attacks, like monsters clashing spiral, are also blocked even when in melee combat with
monsters.
All other targets inside Neutral Barrier can use supporting magic and offensive magic skills and attack/support
targets outside Neutral Barrier, however other targets inside Neutral Barrier wont be able to hit other targets
with long ranged physical attacks that do not ignore flee.
Basically : (edited to make it more clear)
ALL long ranged attacks and magic attacks done to targets inside Neutral Barrier will be blocked,
including flee-ignoring skills like acidbomb, since Neutral Barrier acts like Pneuma.
All long ranged attacks done from inside Neutral Barrier on targets outside Neutral Barrier will miss except
flee-ignoring skills since all targets standing inside Neutral Barrier will have 0 hit for their long ranged skills.
So neutral Barrier got changed/fixed from a supermobbing/superMVPtanking skill to a really nice woe/mvp support skill.
I've yet to decide whether i like the new Neutral Barrier more than the old one because both versions are/were very
useful in different situations.

Some new testings:
Clearance is unable to dispell MadoMechas buffs like Hovering, Acceleration or Neutral Barrier and aspd potions
while sitting in a Mado, i'm not sure if this also applies to Dispel (normal buffs from priest class got removed, though).
Hovering only protects against Hunters traps (ankle snare, sandman, claymore, etc).
Rangers traps (cluster bomb, etc) and all other ground targeted skills still hit you.

And the higher weaponatk is not enough to compensate for a lower skill modifier.
Having ~200 more weaponatk does not really compensate for having skills that have a 3~4 times
lower damage modifier and/or less spamability compared to other classes, like Sura or
Royal Guard (Mechanics : 440%~1200%, RGs and Suras : up to 3000%~4500%+ and Suras even up to 20000% with GoH).

Info about skills that are aoes and/or ranged:
Flame Launcher : 6 cells range (but only damages 5 cells away from you), 3x5 cells aoe

Cold Slower : 7 cells range, 7x7 cells aoe
Vulcan Cannon : 13 cells range
Pile Bunker : 3 cells range
Boost Knuckle : 11 cells range
Axe Boomerang : 4~8 cells range

jRO players have reported that this should be an accurate formula for self-destruct.
Damage = (CurrentSP + VIT) * 20 * SkillLv/3 * BaseLv/100 + CurrentHP - EnemyDef
Axe Tornado : melee range, 5x5 aoe (level 1~2), 7x7 aoe (level 3~5)

Self Destruct Samples
So lets see...
level 150, 100 vit, 110 int MadoMecha
Variant Shoes, Moonlight Dagger, 2x BG medals, PecoPecoArmor
94464 damage before any def or woe reduction.
56678 damage with woe reduction
With Brynhildr as armor the damage would be
119615 damage before any def or woe reduction
71769 damage with woe reduction
I doubt that its reduceable by beret/cranial (because it doesn't use atk in its formula) but
i forgot if it has an element or not.
Quite nice, i guess, especially for either killing all people in an enemy precast or killing a
group of people attacking your emp.
