Necessary to create items if stats are lower than what you have?

Is it really necessary to create items if the stats are lower than what you are currently equipped with? I'm just wondering if you get some kind of bonus or anything from creating every single alchemy item you possibly can. Thanks! =)

Each army member you have will use upto 7 items "Weapon, Off-Hand, Helm, Armor, Amulet, Gloves, Magic" to invade. so if you have 501 army you would need 501 +-.

There are bonuses for performing X number of Alchemy recipes (5, 25, 100) though it doesn't matter which. There is currently no bonus for accomplishing all recipes, which would perhaps be impossible since there have been recipes that are no longer available or possible (because the gifts have gone away).

However, when invading or being invaded, you may take more equipment into the battle depending on your army size. The usual limit cited is 501, though if your army size is greater than that due to a particular general you may take more.

That said, the Serpentine Shield isn't particularly powerful and you may get more out of trading those pieces to the Goblin Emporium.

Thought i would also add for your consideration…. Serpent Shields are also used to summon Cronus, The World Hydra. As this has come somewhat less important to higher level players iv'e seen these deteriate quite rapidly, however Cronus is a good bet for getting some peices needed for dragon helm while recieving middle end loot. with less being summoned you might find it hard to get into one so may have to summon a few yourself.

This is true, but Serpentine Shields have been showing up in drops of team-based battles… so they're still in circulation even without creating them through alchemy.
