Attempts that are numbered indicate successful logins, those that are preceded with an "X" indicate situations where "LD" EC : 38 was induced. Each of the columns indicate the number of "slots" taken up. The last three are sums of those columns i.e. "Inventory Sum" is the sum of Equip through Cash, the following two columns add the last two as appropriate. A progression of thought and explanation follows the table, it's long-winded because he is just like that.
Attempt | Equip | Use | Etc. | Setup | Cash | LS | + CK LS | Inventory Sum | + LS | + CK LS |

Attempt 1: This is my inventory following "LD" EC : 38 unlocking, to my recollection, (which in hindsight, might be questioned) nothing was changed from the time of unlocking to the collection of this data.
Attempt 2: No "LD" EC : 38 expected, in an attempt to prevent lockdown, as much inventory space was cleared, however a large number of collectible Equips, Chairs and important scrolls were left intact. If I can't play the game how I want to play it, I might as well not play at all.
Attempt 3: Logging out for the day, I need a reference of my account in case something bad happens over the Server Check. No "LD" EC : 38 expected.
Attempt 4: I have omitted several sets of data from Attempt 3 to Attempt 4, do note that Attempts 3.X->3.Y were simply adding items to the inventory with Attempt 4 being the last successful login until Attempt X5.
Attempt X5: "LD" EC : 38 achieved. You may notice an increase in Etc. and Setup contrary to what I told you (adding to Use only), I am currently doing a few Events.
I think this result definitively supports the idea that inventory is contributory to "LD" EC : 38, it also indicates Etc. and Setup are counted in our "slots" theory. At this point, I intend to test Link Skills, 282/294(+2?) is definitely the limit for this character though.
Attempt 6: The Mercedes Link Skill was removed and lo and behold, the account was once again accessible, I was quite nervous when entering the PIC, I though I might have made a huge mistake tempting fate. Note that the totals are now 283/294(+2?).
Link Skills definitely contribute to "LD" EC : 38 and to take up at least one "slot". Why so vague? I considered that Link Skills might be special or even based on level, since my Mercedes Link Skill was Level 2 we might actually be sitting at 283/293(+2?). It will be tested next.
Attempt X7: "LD" EC : 38 again. One Use item was added and the error has returned,
we can probably now say that Link Skills take up one "slot," definitively, the Mercedes Link Skill Level 2 takes up one "slot". I will address the "?" in the 282/294(+2?) limit next.
Attempt 8: I removed the Dawn Warrior Level 2 Link Skill and was able to log in to the character.
This proves that Cygnus Knight or at least the Dawn Warrior Level 2 Link Skills each count separately and not as one. I wonder if other "containers" work like this too, in particular the Profession Bags and things similar to it. At this point, the limit to the character is determined to be 296 "slots". I'd bet like the old EC : 38 that this value will be "unique" to each character, it probably isn't but there are so many other variables we have not yet accounted for, that it appears "unique" per character.
Attempt 9: I removed one additional Use item and added the Hayato Link Skill to reinforce the idea of being able to rescue my character in the future if I get careless. I probably should have used the Level 2 Kaiser Link Skill for equality to the Mercedes Level 2 Link Skill, but I am fairly confident all Link Skills take up one "slot".
Attempt 10: Reestablishment of all old Link Skill and logging out for the night, another nightly data roundup, no conclusions to be drawn here. We got a bit of work done here, I hope it helps others.
I am too tired to look into it tonight, but could you see what happened from when I first logged in to when I found the limit. Initially, 307 "slots" taken was still able to log in to the account, now we are down to 296 as the limit. I don't know what it could be. Cash Shop? Link Skills counting twice (which was refuted)? I really hope this isn't a case of decaying "slots" that would be awful.
