The way the game's set up you basically don't need anything extremely good before Empress items. What I'd actually recommend is to focus on your pottable accessories such as the Tempest Ring before the events are over and considering if you're going for any other set effects or items that might complement your Empress equips. If you need a bit of a range boost still Monster Park and crafting are good options.
