I doing "Love Triangle Quest".
I need to bring some Jack O souls. I bring 51 souls now and 25 souls some days before, but no one soul accepted
Total 76 souls was rejected!
I read in wiki that chance for accept is 1:50. I bring more. Why all my souls are rejected?
I think this is bug on your server (main mana world server).
Please help to solve this problem.

I think I see the confusion. This is random chance, not a fixed sum. You are less fortunate than average.
There's a 2% chance that any soul is accepted, and a 98% chance that a soul is rejected.
In math, 0.98 to the 76th power = 0.21, so there is a 21% chance that someone will have 76 souls rejected.
I'm sure someone else can give you souls to help.

360 SOULS - is madness
I can't play more until I complete this quest
I don't do anything, only killing jack o's
How can I determine real quantity of souls what I need to bring? I can bring more souls, but I need to know how many I need. 360 is impossible

I'm sorry, if this always random chance to accept (for every soul), is this mean that i can bring 1000 souls and all rejected?

You write "possible", do you think it is right? May be need some protection against this? For example some "stop number". If I bring number of souls equal to "stop number", then next one soul accepted with guarantee. For example "stop number" =100, when i bring souls it accept or reject randomly, but if I bring total 100 souls, next one is accepted. This is easiest protection method, I think.
I guess it's pretty clear this is not a bug, in the sense that the behavior is exactly as intended.
Personally, I think the social aspects of gaming can really help a lot with this quest. There aren't many other uses for Jack O Souls now, and they stack in storage, therefore many people dump extras in a pile and never look at it again, except for this quest or if a buddy asks for help.
