Mahjong is a game in which four players gather tiles and race to complete a winning hand. You may play against other players or NPCs.

Requirements

Doman Mahjong Rules

Doman mahjong is closely based on the Japanese style of mahjong.

How to Play

The Gold Saucer's mahjong tutor (X:7.2 Y:7.7) teaches the basic rules, making a conversation with her the ideal place to start.

NPC Matches

Access any of the three mahjong tables in the Gold Saucer (X:7.2 Y:7.7) to challenge NPCs of varying difficulty.

• Novice Mahjong Table
• Intermediate Mahjong Table
• Advanced Mahjong Table

* To exit an NPC match, press Esc or the Start/Options button. There is no penalty for quitting.
* You can play at NPC tables while waiting for the Duty Finder.

Player Matches

Use the Duty Finder to be matched against other players.

• Novice Mahjong (Ranked)
  This match type is immediately available. After registering as a solo player, you will be matched against other players.
  Your performance will affect your rating.
  * You cannot join while in a party.
• Advanced Mahjong (Ranked)
  Only players ranked 1st dan or higher can register. After registering as a solo player, you will be matched against other players.
  Increases and decreases in rating are greater than in novice matches.
• Four-player Mahjong (Kuitan enabled)
  You must form a party of four players to begin the match. Ratings and ranks are not affected. The kuitan rule allows tanyao yaku to be used after calling pon or chi. (See in-game instructions and Lodestone for details on the various rules.)
• Four-player Mahjong (Kuitan disabled)
  You must form a party of four players to begin the match. Ratings and ranks are not affected. Playing with kuitan disabled prevents tanyao yaku from being used after calling pon or chi.

Ratings

Your rating starts at 1,500, and will increase or decrease according to your finishing position in each match. An achievement is available for reaching the highest possible rating.

Rank

Passing certain point thresholds will increase your rank. Although you cannot be demoted while in the lower ranks, progressing to the higher ranks puts you at risk of demotion should you perform poorly.

Time Limits

• Player Turns
  Each player has a certain amount of time to take their turn. A tile will be discarded automatically if that player fails to act within the time limit. This time limit does not apply to four-player mahjong (kuitan enabled/disabled).
• Match Length
  If a single hand lasts more than 80 minutes, the following hand will be the last one played. Once that hand ends, the game ends, final placements are decided, and the results are recorded.
  * Matches will end automatically after 120 minutes have passed, regardless of whether a hand is still being played. In this event, ratings and ranks are not affected.

Abandoning a Match

If a player logs out during a mahjong match, tiles will be discarded automatically when their turn comes around. When the player logs back in, they will regain control from the next hand onwards.

If players abandon a match, it will continue without them and their tiles will be discarded automatically. They will also incur the standard penalties for abandoning a duty and will be unable to register for another mahjong match until the previous match ends. In addition, they will be counted as having finished in fourth position. If players do not enter any commands for a certain amount of time, they will be automatically removed from the match.

Checking Ratings and Settings

From the main menu, select Character, Gold Saucer, then Mahjong to check your rating and rank.

You may also change the following settings:

• Hints
  Enable this feature for recommendations on which tiles to discard, whether to call pon or chi, and so on. While following this advice will not always lead to victory, you may find it useful.
• Dangerous Tile Marker
  When discarding a tile, there is always a risk that an opponent may claim that tile to strengthen their position or even win the hand. These markers indicate which tiles carry a high risk of being claimed by an opponent.
• Chat Log
  Forming a party of four and starting a match allows you to use party chat. Toggling this option allows you to leave or rejoin the chat.
  
  If you leave the chat, you will not be able to send or view messages. An icon indicates whether other players are participating in the chat.
• Tile Names
  Highlight a tile to display its name.
  * These four options are set to On by default.
• Tile Set
  Choose from Doman or traditional tile sets.
  * Cannot be changed during a match.

Due to the addition of Doman mahjong, the following change has been made to the Gold Saucer:

• The Manderville Lounge at X:7.2 Y:7.7 is now called the Manderville Tables.

The GATE "Air Force One" has been added.

Air Force One is a shooter ride wherein players board the Air Force and attempt to shoot as many targets as possible while riding along a preset course.

Requirements

Limited Jobs

Blue mage is the first limited job in FINAL FANTASY XIV. As such, there are several key points that distinguish it from other jobs.

• Blue mage functions independently of other classes and jobs, starting at level 1 with a maximum level of 50.
• When playing as a blue mage, it is possible to participate in duties with other players in preformed or undersized parties. However, the following duties will remain inaccessible:

Learning Spells

Rather than gaining new actions by increasing in level, blue mages learn them from enemies. In order to do so, you must first witness an enemy perform a special attack in battle. Once it is defeated, you have a chance of acquiring the ability.
* Job level has no influence on when an action can be learned.

Blue Magic Spellbook

All spells you have learned are recorded in the Blue Magic Spellbook. The book also contains hints on how to acquire other spells.

Active Actions

Before spells can be set to your hotbar, they must first be selected as active actions. You can have up to 24 active actions at any given time.

Active Sets

Active actions can also be saved together as a set. Up to five active sets can be saved.

Enemy Weaknesses
