From what I take of it, the link skill is up to Lv5 for each different knight that you have. They all add up to 25% elemental/status resistance at max. For each CK linked, it's +2% elemental/status resist for level 1 (Lv70), and +5% for level 2 (Lv120) per knight.
If you can't get the Leafre Codex Set, then you can try going for the Hob PQ set as an alternative for having something of use. The bonuses are pretty nice (+1% all stat, +15% PDR), and it can be quick as you can find all of the cards in the PQ.
I'm satisfied with just a 6 piece empress set. I got lucky with chaos scrolling a few of the equipment as well as fusing the overall to have 6% Dex. I think the set bonuses from all of that outweighs the normal custom made equipment. Of course, if you have common handmedowns or things that can be traded over via storage to use, that's a cheap option too.
At least in Windia, empress bowman equipment are very cheap, 10m-15m each for gloves, overall, shoes, hat. Empress bow goes for 50-100m. I actually bought 2 crappy ones for cheaper than that, and fused them. The cape is expensive, but there are alternatives for getting it. Even without the 8th anniversary boxes, you can pretty much hunt coins and farm all the pre-made empress equipment (including the cape, but minus the weapon) you want from killing the Cygnus Knights in Evolving World. I managed to find 2 capes for my Merc and my WA. Shoulderpad from Shadow Cygnus. Probably best to buy them while they're still cheap, before the actual revamp.
