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

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.

Celestial Konten		10 SP	20 SP	Not applied

Notes:

• 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.

Soul Points

		4P				3P
		1st	2nd	3rd	4th	1st	2nd	3rd
Rank	East	+0.3	+0.1	-0.1	-0.3	+0.3	±0	-0.3
	South	+0.5	+0.2	-0.2	-0.5	+0.5	±0	-0.5
End-Score		Not applied

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
• Starting Points: 4P 25000; 3P 35000

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)

Rank Points

Room	4P (East / South)				3P (East / South)
	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	1st	2nd	3rd
Bronze Room	+10 / +20	+5 / +10	±0	According to Penalty on corresponding rank	+15 / +30	±0	According to Penalty on corresponding rank
Silver Room	+20 / +40	+10 / +20			+30 / +60
Gold Room	+40 / +80	+20 / +40			+55 / +105
Jade Room	+55 / +110	+30 / +55			+75 / +160
Throne Room	+60 / +120	+30 / +60			+120 / +240

In summary:

• The reward for placing 1st/2nd is based on the room you are playing in. The higher the room, the bigger the rewards.
• The penalty for placing last is based on your rank. The higher your rank, the bigger the penalty.
• Placing 3rd in 4-player, or 2nd in 3-player, nets 0 rank points (excluding final score/uma).
  • 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

An example of Copper-coin's calculation

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:

1. Calculate End Score based on final point results.
2. 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 South	2500 / 500 3500 / 700	2000 2800	50 70
   Gold Room	East South	5000 / 1000 7000 / 1400	4000 5600	100 140
   Jade Room	East South	10000 / 2000 14000 / 2800	8000 11200	200 280
   Throne Room	East South	10000 / 2000 14000 / 2800	8000 11200	200 280

   Formula: CoinsLost = EndScore<-40 ? MaximumLost : EndScore*ExchangeRate

3. Sum up the total lost.
4. 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 0 points, they lose copper as if they had 0 points exactly. The winner's copper gain is reduced proportionally.

East vs South

Ranking:

• South games roughly double the "RankPts" you gain/lose from placement, not counting uma. However, any rank points from in-game score or uma are not doubled. Therefore, two 1st-place East games > one 1st-place South game. For example:
  • Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player East round, 30k match score: (30000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 20 = 40 points/game, or 80 points for two games.
  • Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player South round, 35k match score: (35000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 40 = 65 points/game, which is worse than 2 East round games.
• Thus, 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). So, once you do reach that point, it's better to play South.

Character Bonding:

• For chest progress and bond points, it is faster to play East than South.

Characters

Main article: List of Mahjong Soul 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.

Bonding Stage

Level	Upgrading	Total Required	Notable Rewards
❤	2000	2000	* First-place voice
❤❤	6000	8000
❤❤❤	10000	18000
❤❤❤❤	20000	38000	* Story rewards
❤❤❤❤❤	50000	88000	* Story rewards * Yaku spelling * Gain gifts in place of bond points
💛💛💛💛💛	Bond with required resources		* Story rewards * Bonded skin * Extra emotes x3 * SP voice

Bond values 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)
• 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..

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.

3P-Mahjong

3P-Mahjong (Sanma) is a variation based on regular mahjong, allowing 3 players to start a match.

The ruleset of Majsoul Sanma basically refers to Tenhou. Most of the rules are 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:

1. Calculate the scoring points based on 4P-Mahjong.
2. Equally divide North seat's payment (round up to whole hundreds).
3. Append the half North payment to other seats.

E.g. A non-dealer wins with a hand of 40fu 3han.

1. Based on 4P-Mahjong, dealer should pay 2600, while non-dealer 1300.
2. North pays 1300, half of the payment is 650 -> round up to 700.
3. Dealer actually pays 2600 + 700 = 3300, while non-dealer 1300 + 700 = 2000.

  • The prices in JP server are slightly increased from October 1st, 2019 due to an increasement of consumption tax.
  • The price of Outfit Voucher in JP server's iOS frontend are slightly increased from October 5th, 2022 due to the increased cost of using iOS App Store.
