I can't really tell how good an equip is. Besides the prefix, suffix and quality to make a rough estimate. People posting like % for ADB, block, parry, etc for legendries. How can you figure this out?
You use
This which is based on
This (there's also one for each armor type). Keep in mind that a few entries might not be accurate or be outdated (I've encountered a few) but overall they're correct.

Oh legend this or legend that, just saw a legend cobalt power armor of protection or something with 636.53 attack...is this good?
The number by itself doesn't mean anything. The 2nd link contains tables with base values. Equipment stats use some "complicated" formulas that are basically
base value + stat_specific_constants * level_adjustment_parameter, so that 636.53 can either be good or bad depending on the gear's level. Base value = stat value at level 1 and a few stats like interference have stat_specific_constant = 0, which means they don't increase with level. The % you talk about is not as scary as it sounds. Sometimes you see a gear with a stat that says 0% and at first glance it seems like shit because... zero. When a gear (besides peerless) is generated there's a roll to decide its base values. Take for example the first entry on those tables (legendary axe of slaughter). The possible base values for attack damage are
67.79 &
75.92. When you see the gear stat in percentage form (it's referent to percentile ranges) if the stat is a 0% all it means is that it's the lowest possible value from the possible interval [67.79 75.92]. So 0% -> 67.79, 50% -> (67.79 + 75.92 / 2) = 71.86, 100% -> 75.92, etc. BTW, Peerless quality = Legendary with guaranteed 100% on all stats.
Since you're "poor" you're not gonna focus on this. Buy the gear you want on the bazaar (you really can't be picky) and accept the % as whatever they are. Later on, when you start getting specific gear piece by piece then you can focus on the %, and obviously pay for it accordingly. Also keep in mind that bazaar purchases are strictly for personal use because they become untradeable so NEVER buy anything that you're not gonna use no matter how good it looks (there is only one exception to this rule).

But oddly its already at potency tier 7...the heck, someone just sold this? Bought it just in case, not sure if its a good or not but 65k seems cheap to save me the time from doing IW later, but i'm a long way from 500. But yeah if similar things pop up should i get it in advance? I'm kinda poor and these random seemingly good gears will keep making me stay poor unless i can tell what is worth and what is not. And also to buy/sell on market later I need to know the product well.
I assume that by market you mean bazaar. If good equipments show up on the bazaar it's usually because the player who sold it either doesn't realise it's sellable or didn't think the price it can fetch in auction/sale is worth the effort. It's up to each player to decide what constitutes a good bazaar buy. Ideally, you want to buy gear at exactly your level but if you can't, at least close to it, because soulfusing is expensive for poor players. The formula works like this for mag/leg gears:
CODE
Number of fragments to soulfuse = 500 + (gear level - your level) * 10.
On average you get 60 soul fragments per day if you do 24 REs, so if the gear is 100 levels above you, that's 1500 soul fragments for a single piece. You do the math on how long it takes to get a full set like this. Just for argument's sake, I'll show you my specific case just so you get an example. This is my gear right now:
and I have these 2 bazaar purchases on hold:
Legendary Ruby Shade Breastplate of the FleetLegendary Amber Shade Boots of the FleetAnd since I don't want to waste soul fragments on both, my plan is to level up to 389 so I can use one of them and then soulfuse the other, to finally get a goddamn complete full fleet set. A lot of people will tell me, oh but your other pieces' levels are falling too way behind your own level you scrub, you should swap them asap! True, but like I said, each player has their own ideas and plans and right now I am investing in other things, so I'll keep holding for bazaar findings and accept the gear I can get. Bottom line is this: you can't be picky with prefix and percentile ranges but you can and SHOULD be picky with tier, quality and sufix.
Being potency level 7 also doesn't mean anything by itself. If it has the potencies you want, all it does is save you time and stamina. If it isn't, it's actually worse because you'll have to waste items to reset it. In my opinion, at your level and budget, you're not gonna focus on potencies for armors. However, the potencies on weapons actually make a lot of difference. But that's a whole different topic to discuss.

Also need to know how to link to an equip as people do on market.
I've been playing yolo mode a few years ago with no communication at all...feels like a barbarian almost. Just recently started playing again and decide to understand this game mechanic a little more. So I'm probably missing out a lot of the basics, despite googling for some info via wiki.
Press C while hovering a gear piece and a popup window with gear stats opens. The script I mentioned has a few other shortcuts I believe, just read the tutorial.
This post is already too long so I won't get into details about basics, low/mid level mistakes and wiki, but I'll tell you this: googling isn't enough to fully comprehend some mechanics and features. Explore the wiki manually because sometimes you see a link to a topic you weren't even thinking about and discover new things you didn't even know existed. At the same time, the wiki is very outdated and inaccurate in a few sections, so it's always good to confirm things, either by simulating formulas, discussing it with other players, etc..
