What's the item drop cap?

[HobbitStomper]

I'm playing survival mode quite often and on insane over wave 12+ you get several 1000 mobs per wave and the entire ground is full of items.

I notice that after there are too many items some will just disappear.

I read that with an earlier patch they increased the cap of dropped items, but I couldn't find anywhere how many items exactly that is. Does any one know?

I would just like to know from what wave on looting should be allowed, since the items that vanish will not turn into mana.

4 players? Wave 10 is when I start seeing non-mana stuff poofing. Although since most are 5-10k each at the shop... I normally wouldn't bother until wave 18.

Duo, I remember seeing this at wave 13 onwards.

We usually play 2-4 players and get up to wave 21 so far. Always had to quit because some of us had to leave or host had disconnect.

Someone told me that from wave 20 on we should loot, others say when there are more than 3000 mobs in a wave. I would just like to have a clear answer on when to allow looting to avoid loosing items.
