Good question! Ink Saver (Main) does not likely have a maximum capacity, but the ability has diminishing returns for each slot it occupies. In our experience, you only need to equip around 1 or 2 primary ability slots with this ability to get a few extra shots out of your main weapon, so we do not recommend equipping more than that number.
