MapleStory has a lot of event quests of the form "Hold this item for 30 minutes".
Accepting the quest puts an item in your Setup inventory. The item expires after 30 minutes, which causes it to turn into a different item. The quest is then ready for completion, which you normally do through the proper event notifier. Completing the quest takes away the item in your Setup and gives you the quest rewards.

When giving you the item, the quest dialog warns you that if you log out before the item transforms, it will disappear and you will have to try again.
And indeed, if you log out or disconnect, the item (either original or transformed) disappears from your inventory.

The problem is that while the item disappears, the quest does not automatically reset. You have to manually forfeit the quest. This is something not all players know about, especially not new players. Some believe that if you disconnect mid-quest, you've lost that quest for the day or entirely.

So, I suggest that these quests auto-forfeit on disconnection.
