In summary, the reward for 1st/2nd is based on the room, while the penalty for last is based on your rank. Placing 3rd in 4-player, or 2nd in 3-player, results in no rank change (other than [[uma]] and final score). E.g., if you play a 4-player game, and place 3rd with 25000 points, you'll end up losing 5 rank points from the uma penalty. | |||

In short: | |||
*You ''always'' lose the entry fee. Therefore, over long periods of play, you should expect to lose copper (unless you are much better than the opponents). | |||
*You gain/lose copper for every 1000 points you gain/lose in game. | |||
*When an opponent is sent below a certain threshold, their copper penalty is capped. The winner's copper gain is reduced proportionally. | |||

===East vs South=== | |||
Ranking: | |||
* There are 3 components to rank point calculation: final raw score (score at the end), [[uma]] (bonus for placement), and "RankPts" (another bonus for placement). | |||
* Compared to East, South doubles "RankPts", but does ''not'' double uma or final raw score. This means two 1st-place East games > one 1st-place South game. For example: | |||
** Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player East round, 30k score: <code>(30000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 20</code> = 40 points/game, or 80 points for two games. | |||
** Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player South round, 35k raw match score: <code>(35000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 40</code> = 65 points/game, which is worse than 2 East round games. | |||
* Therefore, if you are ''significantly'' better than the competition, playing East round games will result in a faster rank up than South round games. | |||
* However, once you reach Master 3 or higher, the 4th place penalty is relatively bigger in East than South; two last place finishes in East loses more points than one last place South. At that point onwards, it's better to play South. | |||
Character Bonding: | |||
* For chest progress and bond points, it is faster to play East than South. South lasts about twice as long for only +50% more progress/game. | |||

=== Exclusive Characters === | |||
Exclusive characters are characters can be acquired only in a limited timeframe, usually during an event. Regular character pools do not contain them after the acquisition period. Usually those characters are from animation / manga series, or collaborators. A few of them are official characters but with rarity settings. | |||
==== Collab Characters ==== | |||
Currently, there are 6 collabs: | |||
* Linovel: Collab from the light novel website [https://www.linovel.net/ ''Linovel''], including 1 character: Keikumusume. | |||
* Saki: Collab from the manga series ''Saki: the Nationals'', including 8 characters: Saki Miyanaga, Nodoka Haramura, Koromo Amae, Teru Miyanaga, Hisa Takei, Mihoko Fukuji, Ako Atarashi, Toki Onjoji | |||

* Blue Archive: Collab from the mobile game ''Blue Archive'', including 4 characters: Shiroko, Hoshino, Mutsuki, Aru. | |||
==== Self-exclusive Characters ==== | |||
Self-exclusive characters are official characters with a lower rate to summon, as well as requiring more faiths to exchange, and can only be acquired in a limited timeframe. In exchange, the bonding stage rewards extra equipment or decorations, and their bonding skin is animated. | |||
Currently, 2 characters are officially exclusive: Kazuha Saionji, Lily Kitahara. | |||
== Currency == | |||
There are two major types of currency and many sub-currencies. | |||
===Copper=== | |||
Copper is the "free-to-play" currency. It can be used for: | |||
*Entering matches. A set amount of copper is required to enter matches, including all ranked matches past bronze room. | |||
*Buying gifts (Shop -> Misc). Gifts can be given to characters to increase bond points. Gifts can also be turned into stardust (Inventory), which can then be used to buy summon scrolls. | |||
Copper can be obtained by: | |||
*Winning matches (though note the [[#Calculation_of_Copper_Coins|entry fee]]). | |||
*Daily quests - every day, 1 quest is given. Completing the quest gives a rank-dependent amount of copper. Up to 3 quests can be accumulated at once. | |||
*Revival tokens - if you are Adept or higher, and below a certain threshold of copper, you may claim free copper once per day. | |||
*Various events and gifts by Yostar. | |||
===Jade=== | |||
Jade is the "premium" currency. Despite the mention of free jade, ''there is no way to obtain jade in-game without paying real money''. Jade is primarily used to buy summons. It can also be used to rename your account, create tournaments, rerolling the shop, or can be exchanged for a small amount of copper. | |||
Note: | |||
*"Premium jade" is the jade you buy directly with real money. ''Premium jade is not shared between platforms''. Therefore, when switching between platforms, your jade count may change. | |||
*"Free jade" is the jade obtained daily with the Fortune Charm (not including the 300 jade obtained immediately when buying the charm). Free jade persists between platforms. | |||
===Other currencies=== | |||
*Outfit vouchers are bought with real money, and can be used to buy cosmetics (character skins, backgrounds). They can be converted into jade at an inefficient rate, but jade cannot be converted back to outfit vouchers. | |||
*Gifts be given to increase a character's bond points. They can also be converted into stardust (Inventory -> Donate), which can then be converted into summon scrolls. In addition, characters will require purple gifts of certain type in order to reach their maximum bond. | |||
*Spheres can be used to buy loading screens (Shop -> Illustration), and spheres are required to reach a character's maximum bond. | |||
*Bond points are used to level up your character. (See the [[#Bond System|Bond System]] section for more details.) | |||
*Faith is obtained whenever you make a summon (1 faith : 1 summon). They function as the game's "pity" system - 150 faith can be redeemed for a character of your choice, and it can be used to buy other things as well. | |||
*Wishing stones are obtained when obtaining a duplicate character. They can also be obtained by spending faith (1 faith : 1 wishing stone). Wishing stones can be used to buy purple gifts, spheres, and are required to reach a character's maximum bond. | |||
*Star stones are obtained when obtaining a duplicate, non-character cosmetic. They can be used to buy certain cosmetics or blue gifts. | |||

Majsoul (aka Mahjong Soul, Jantama, Jakhon) is a Japanese mahjong game platform developed by CATFOOD STUDIO and distributed by Yostar.
The platform functions as a gacha game. Players may use in game currency to access various functions, such as items and ingame characters. On occasion, periodical events are available for special items, characters, and/or bonuses.
A tournament suite is available for users to become hosts and create their own tournaments. The interface allows hosts to set up tournament systems and custom rules not available in the main platform.
Ladder
The Mahjong Soul ladder is available across three different server groups: Chinese (CN), Japanese (JP), and English (EN). They all follow the same ranking system.
Rooms
Room | Required Rank | Required Copper Coins | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
East | South | ||||
Entry Limit | Entry Fee | Entry Limit | Entry Fee | ||
Bronze Room | Novice, Adept | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Silver Room | Adept, Expert | 2500 | 500 | 3500 | 700 |
Gold Room | Expert, Master | 5000 | 1000 | 1400 | |
Jade Room | Master, Saint | 10000 | 2000 | 14000 | 2800 |
Throne Room | Saint, Celestial | ||||
Special Rooms | (Depends on room requirements) |
- "Entry Limit" is the minimum # of copper you must have in order to enter the room.
- "Entry Fee" is the actual cost when a match is started. The entry fee is not reflected when looking at the end-of-match result screen
Misc Notes:
- Players are not allowed to stream Throne Room matches in real-time. A delay of 5 minutes should be applied when performing a stream.
- In-game Hints are disabled in Throne Room.
- Matches in Special Rooms do not affect the player's rank, and are recorded in a separate section of the statistics screen.
- Special room matches may or may not cost copper. Rooms that cost copper are usually priced identically to Silver Room. Only rooms that cost copper may contribute towards Casual Chest progress.

Your rank will be downgraded if you fall below 0 rank points. You cannot demote from Adept to Novice, and you cannot downgrade while in Novice, but all other ranks allow demotion.
Celestial Ranking
In Celestial, a special ranking system is applied. Players are ranked by a numerical level, as well as using a different way to calculate ranking points.
Each level starts with 10 Soul Points, requiring 20 points to upgrade. Losing all the points will lead to a downgrade. Unlike in the past, it is possible to downgrade to Saint III when losing all Soul Points at Celestial Lv. 1.
The gain/loss of Soul Points is only determined by rank; end score does not matter. In addition, when all the players are Celestial in a single match, the soul-point changing is doubled.
Calculations
Calculation of End-Score Points
- Oka Points: Not applied
- Uma Points:
- 4P: 1st
+15
, 2nd+5
, 3rd-5
, 4th-15
- 3P: 1st
+15
, 2nd±0
, 3rd-15
- 4P: 1st
- Starting Points: 4P
25000
; 3P35000
Formula:
EndScore = (MatchResult - StartingPts) / 1000 + UmaPts
Calculation of Rank Points
Formula:
PtsGain = EndScore + RankPts
The result is always rounded up to an integer. (e.g. +68.2 → +69
, -1.9 → -1
)
In summary, the reward for 1st/2nd is based on the room, while the penalty for last is based on your rank. Placing 3rd in 4-player, or 2nd in 3-player, results in no rank change (other than uma and final score). E.g., if you play a 4-player game, and place 3rd with 25000 points, you'll end up losing 5 rank points from the uma penalty.
Calculation of Copper Coins
The calculation of copper coins is a bit complex.
The Entry Fee is always applied as long as a match is taken successfully, although it's not shown in the final result.
For the Gain/Lost of match, the whole procedure is listed as follows:
- Calculate End Score based on final point results.
- Calculate Copper-coin lost for negative End Scores based on the exchange rate. The lost is always capped to a maximum lost (
MaximumLost = EntryLimit - EntryFee
) if exceeded the limit (EndScore < -40
).Room Entry Limit / Entry Fee Maximum Lost Exchange Rate Bronze Room 0 / 0 - - Silver Room East

14000 / 28008000
11200200
280Formula:
CoinsLost = EndScore<-40 ? MaximumLost : EndScore*ExchangeRate
- Sum up the total lost.
- Distribute the coins proportionally to other players based on End Score.
Formula:
CoinsGain = Sum(CoinsLosts) * EndScore / Sum(PositiveEndScores)
In short:
- You always lose the entry fee. Therefore, over long periods of play, you should expect to lose copper (unless you are much better than the opponents).
- You gain/lose copper for every 1000 points you gain/lose in game.
- When an opponent is sent below a certain threshold, their copper penalty is capped. The winner's copper gain is reduced proportionally.
Chests
Chest Items
Room | Chest Name | Available Items | Quantity |
---|---|---|---|
Silver Room | Silver Chest | Green Presents, Spheres, rarely Blue Presents | 1-2 |
Gold Room | Gold Chest | Green Presents, Spheres, rarely Blue Presents | 1-2 |
Jade Room | Jade Chest | Blue Presents, Spheres, sometimes Green Presents | 2 |
Throne Room | Throne Chest | Blue Presents, Spheres, sometimes Green Presents | 2 |
Special Rooms | Casual Chest [note 1] | Green Presents, Spheres, rarely Blue Presents | 1-2 |
East vs South
Ranking:
- There are 3 components to rank point calculation: final raw score (score at the end), uma (bonus for placement), and "RankPts" (another bonus for placement).
- Compared to East, South doubles "RankPts", but does not double uma or final raw score. This means two 1st-place East games > one 1st-place South game. For example:
- Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player East round, 30k score:
(30000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 20
= 40 points/game, or 80 points for two games. - Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player South round, 35k raw match score:
(35000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 40
= 65 points/game, which is worse than 2 East round games.
- Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player East round, 30k score:
- Therefore, if you are significantly better than the competition, playing East round games will result in a faster rank up than South round games.
- However, once you reach Master 3 or higher, the 4th place penalty is relatively bigger in East than South; two last place finishes in East loses more points than one last place South. At that point onwards, it's better to play South.
Character Bonding:
- For chest progress and bond points, it is faster to play East than South. South lasts about twice as long for only +50% more progress/game.
Characters
Currently, there are 60 characters available, including 41 females and 19 males. Every new user is granted access to Ichihime and Miki Nikaidou. Additional characters must be summoned via the gacha system, with Jade as currency or with the Summon Scroll item. Jade can only be acquired via monetary purchase, while Summon Scrolls may be obtained via events, system mail as gifts, or purchase in the item shop.
A number of the characters remain in the mainline group for Mahjong Soul. These are readily available throughout the year via gacha. In addition, limited edition characters are/were temporarily available via collaborations with some anime series.
Bond System
Each character has a unique Bond Value. The value can be enhanced by gaming or gifting to unlock corresponding vocals and story plots. At the maximum affection level, all voice lines will be unlocked, and the character will read out yakus after winning a hand. Characters can be entangled to unlock new appearance as a skin that can be chosen, accompanying with 3 extra emotes.
Level | Upgrading | Total Required | Notable Rewards |
---|---|---|---|
❤ | 2000 | 2000 | * First-place voice |
❤❤ | 6000 | 8000 | |
❤❤❤ | 10000 | 18000 | |
❤❤❤❤ | 20000 | 38000 | * Story rewards [note 2] |
❤❤❤❤❤ | 50000 | 88000 | * Story rewards [note 2] * Yaku spelling * Gain gifts in place of bond points |
💛💛💛💛💛 | Bond with required resources | * Story rewards [note 2] * Bonded skin * Extra emotes x3 * SP voice |
Bond points can be acquired as follows:
- Completing a match in Silver Room or higher:
- 4P East
+40
, 4P South+60
; 3P East+25
, 3P South+40
(regardless of room rank). - VIP points (obtained for buying with real currency) will increase the amount bond points gained. (See Charge-related Titles section)
- 4P East
- Gifting directly:
- Green Presents
+200
, Blue+1000
, Purple+5000
. - If the character prefers a specific type of gift, said gifts give a bonus of +50%. Usually, gifts listed in the character's interest section are prefered.[note 3].
- Green Presents
When playing with a character with 5 hearts of bond, any accumulated bond points are instead used to gain gifts. For every 1000 points obtained, you gain a "bond gift". Like other blue gifts, this can given to another character for +1000 bond points, or donated for 5 star dust. Bond gifts do not count towards the daily gift limit.
Gifts
Gifts can be given to a character to increase your bond with that character (see Bond System section), or turned into star dusts if they can be donated. 50 star dusts can be used at the shop to attempt getting larger rewards, including a new character.
Gift Quality | Resulting Star Dust |
---|---|
Green | 1 |
Blue | 5 |
Purple | 25 |
Stories
Stories are character-exclusive contents provided freely to players who owned the corresponding character. Stories can be accessed in each character's info page in dormitory. The former 3 bonding stages contain novel-like descriptive contents. The latter 3 stages provide interactive contents, with multiple branches and different rewards correspondingly. Higher stages contain better rewards.
Currently, there are only 4 characters with story plots: Ichihime, Miki Nikaidou, Anju Suzumiya and Joseph.
Skins
Apart from standard and bonded skins of each character, more alternative skins can be acquired during events. In the vast majority of cases, these skins both require monetary purchase, by using Outfit Vouchers. Usually each static skin requires 880 vouchers, while animated requires 1,500, and both accompanying with one extra emote.
Unidirectionally, Outfit Vouchers can be converted to Jades by ratio of 1:1. Though generally such exchange is not recommended, as purchasing Jades directly is much cheaper. Jades cannot be converted to Outfit Vouchers, neither can Jades be used to purchase skins in any means.
Exclusive Characters
Exclusive characters are characters can be acquired only in a limited timeframe, usually during an event. Regular character pools do not contain them after the acquisition period. Usually those characters are from animation / manga series, or collaborators. A few of them are official characters but with rarity settings.
Collab Characters
Currently, there are 6 collabs:
- Linovel: Collab from the light novel website Linovel, including 1 character: Keikumusume.
- Saki: Collab from the manga series Saki: the Nationals, including 8 characters: Saki Miyanaga, Nodoka Haramura, Koromo Amae, Teru Miyanaga, Hisa Takei, Mihoko Fukuji, Ako Atarashi, Toki Onjoji
- Kakegurui: Collab from the manga series Kakegurui XX, including 4 characters: Yumeko Jabami, Mary Saotome, Midari Ikishima, Kirari Momobami.
- Akagi: Collab from the manga series Akagi: The Genius Who Descended into the Darkness, including 2 characters: Shigeru Akagi, Iwao Washizu.
- Kaguya-sama: Collab from the manga series Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -Ultra Romantic-, including 4 characters: Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, Ai Hayasaka, Kei Shirogane.
- Code Geass: Collab from the anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, including 4 characters: Lelouch Lamperouge, C.C., Suzaku Kururugi, Kallen Kouzuki.
- Blue Archive: Collab from the mobile game Blue Archive, including 4 characters: Shiroko, Hoshino, Mutsuki, Aru.
Self-exclusive Characters
Self-exclusive characters are official characters with a lower rate to summon, as well as requiring more faiths to exchange, and can only be acquired in a limited timeframe. In exchange, the bonding stage rewards extra equipment or decorations, and their bonding skin is animated.
Currently, 2 characters are officially exclusive: Kazuha Saionji, Lily Kitahara.
Currency
There are two major types of currency and many sub-currencies.
Copper
Copper is the "free-to-play" currency. It can be used for:
- Entering matches. A set amount of copper is required to enter matches, including all ranked matches past bronze room.
- Buying gifts (Shop -> Misc). Gifts can be given to characters to increase bond points. Gifts can also be turned into stardust (Inventory), which can then be used to buy summon scrolls.
Copper can be obtained by:
- Winning matches (though note the entry fee).
- Daily quests - every day, 1 quest is given. Completing the quest gives a rank-dependent amount of copper. Up to 3 quests can be accumulated at once.
- Revival tokens - if you are Adept or higher, and below a certain threshold of copper, you may claim free copper once per day.
- Various events and gifts by Yostar.
Jade
Jade is the "premium" currency. Despite the mention of free jade, there is no way to obtain jade in-game without paying real money. Jade is primarily used to buy summons. It can also be used to rename your account, create tournaments, rerolling the shop, or can be exchanged for a small amount of copper.
Note:
- "Premium jade" is the jade you buy directly with real money. Premium jade is not shared between platforms. Therefore, when switching between platforms, your jade count may change.
- "Free jade" is the jade obtained daily with the Fortune Charm (not including the 300 jade obtained immediately when buying the charm). Free jade persists between platforms.
Other currencies
- Outfit vouchers are bought with real money, and can be used to buy cosmetics (character skins, backgrounds). They can be converted into jade at an inefficient rate, but jade cannot be converted back to outfit vouchers.
- Gifts be given to increase a character's bond points. They can also be converted into stardust (Inventory -> Donate), which can then be converted into summon scrolls. In addition, characters will require purple gifts of certain type in order to reach their maximum bond.
- Spheres can be used to buy loading screens (Shop -> Illustration), and spheres are required to reach a character's maximum bond.
- Bond points are used to level up your character. (See the Bond System section for more details.)
- Faith is obtained whenever you make a summon (1 faith : 1 summon). They function as the game's "pity" system - 150 faith can be redeemed for a character of your choice, and it can be used to buy other things as well.
- Wishing stones are obtained when obtaining a duplicate character. They can also be obtained by spending faith (1 faith : 1 wishing stone). Wishing stones can be used to buy purple gifts, spheres, and are required to reach a character's maximum bond.
- Star stones are obtained when obtaining a duplicate, non-character cosmetic. They can be used to buy certain cosmetics or blue gifts.

- Dealer starts with 14 tiles directly (instead of regular 13+1 tiles), each tile can be treated as tsumo tiles when achieving Blessing of Heaven (Tenhou). The last tile in default tile-sequence is treated as the winning tile by default on the result screen. When the hand is composed with another yakumans, it is always treated as the highest yakuman: Single-wait Four Concealed Triplets (Suuankou Tanki), Thirteen-wait Thirteen Orphans (Kokushi Musou Juusanmen Machi) and True Nine Gates (Junsei Chuuren Poutou). In those cases the hand is counted as triple yakuman. [3]
3P-Mahjong
3P-Mahjong (Sanma) is a variation based on regular mahjong, allowing 3 players to start a match.
The ruleset of Majsoul Sanma is nearly identical to Tenhou sanma.
There are two different scoring mechanics ingame, by default Tsumo-Loss is applied in Ranked Matches, while North-Bisection is provided as an alternative option in Friendly Matches.
Ruleset in details
- Starting points:
35000
, End points:40000
- Uma points: First
+15
, Second±0
, Third-15
- Rinshan-tile amount: 8 tiles
- Tiles from to are not used, thus Mixed Triple Sequence (Sanshoku Doujun) yaku is unavailable.
- When Dora indicator is , Dora is .
- Red fives: 2 tiles ( and )
- Honba point: 200 points for each Honba stick
- No-ten penalty: 2000 points
- Completing a sequence by calling Chii: Disabled
- North can be used for replacement dora "Kita" (Nukidora / Kita).
- After a Kan (Rinshan Kaihou) yaku is applied when winning a hand with rinshan tile from North replacing.
- North replacing can be robbed even with non-yakuman hand. However Robbing a Kan (Chankan) yaku is not applied, the hand itself still requires another yaku to win with.
- North replacing cannot be claimed immediately right after Pon.
- North replacing is similar to a calling action, thus this can nullify Ippatsu (Ippatsu), Blessing of Earth (Chiihou), Nine Different Terminals and Honors (Kyuushu Kyuuhai) and Double Riichi (Daburu Riichi).
- North replacing does not lead to a furiten of North.
- North is treated as guest-wind tiles (Otakaze), a triplet of North cannot get 1 han as Value Tiles (Yakuhai / Fanpai).
- Due to lacking of North seat, there're no abortive draws of Four-wind Discarded (Suufon Renda) and Four-player Riichi (Suucha Riichi).
Calculation of Scoring Points
Currently there're 2 different scoring methods ingame:
- Tsumo-Loss (default): Winner loses the income from North seat when the hand is completed by Tsumo.
- North-Bisection: The income from North is equally divided and distributed towards every other seats.
In Ranked Match Tsumo-Loss is applied.
The scoring table with Tsumo-Loss is basically identical to regular 4P-mahjong:

The calculation on Tsumo is finished by the following steps:
- Calculate the scoring points based on 4P-Mahjong.
- Equally divide North seat's payment (round up to whole hundreds).
- Append the half North payment to other seats.
E.g. A non-dealer wins with a hand of 40fu 3han
.
- Based on 4P-Mahjong, dealer should pay
2600
, while non-dealer1300
. - North pays
1300
, half of the payment is650
-> round up to700
. - Dealer actually pays
2600 + 700 = 3300
, while non-dealer1300 + 700 = 2000
.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Sometimes called Ichihime's Gift Box.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Story rewards are currently acquirable only for characters containing story plots.
- ↑ However this is not always reliable, and sometimes it's misleading. Interests of some characters can match more than one type of gifts (e.g. Natsuki Shinomiya), while some of them can't match any at all (e.g. Hideki Akechi).
- ↑ Of course, including winning Tenhou and Chiihou both once. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
