The only thing you have to do to make sure you don't lose any quests is to not complete the last step on any quests that are carrying over for at least a day after collecting your farm cash. That way you have a buffer if you are not able to collect at the time your are first able to. It is not really that difficult. You have to plan for your crops to not lose them by wasting and for this you have to plan ahead too.
Right now I have my 8 quests done, but my time is not up until Saturday morning, so all the quests I am doing now are on hold and not doing the last step until Sunday morning.

Thanks for the advice but that is exactly what I've been doing...the dropping off is what I'm not able to understand. If it says I have 8 and 1 disappears when I go to collect is a mystery to me

Hi!

I will try to explain it. Lets say you collect your farmcash today at 5:00 PM. Then you complete the last step for your first quest to the next week at 5:30 PM. Next week, you should collect again at 5:00 Pm Thursday, but you are out and come back at 7:00 PM. You are able to collect your cash but your first quest was dropped off the chart because for it more than 7 days have passed.

That's the best explanation yet...thank you all. It all makes sense now and thank all of you for going the extra mile to help us understand

What I do for the quest as long as you have enough time so they do not expire is do all the steps for the quest except the last one and let them build up to 4 or 5 open quest then on one day I do the last step that way I have 4 or 5 in one day that gives me a buffer so that if I have a quest I can't do pop up ie I don't have the service facility it goes in, I have a buffer to still get 8 in 7 days. Sometimes it may take me 8 days to get them done but because I waited to finish them I have several days of 0 quest complete and a day or 4 or 5 complete. This way you don't have to worry about quest falling off as much. You get the same coins for the quest no matter how long it took to finish it. Just watch out for the short quest that sometimes pop up like the one I had today that is only 2 days to finish it.

The quicker you finish a quest the more coins you will receive, so if you let a quest set for a few days, you will get less coins than if you do the quest quickly.

That is what the developers have always said was the case but the most coins I have ever gotten for a quest is 15,000,000 and that was if I finished it in 1 day because I got the gift help option or I took 5 days to finish still got 15,000,000 for the more involved quest. For that reason I do not think the coins you get work like the developers claim they do. That said even if they do decrease by a million or two it is worth it to get the 2 fc at least it is for me. Coins are very easy to come by I do not rely on quest to make coins if I did I would never have any more land in the game.
