I just recently started this game and have been able to keep myself pretty self sustaining after a couple of days and have been using my extra money to craft a lot of haze bombs as I have been thinking about making a Shivermist Buster with a good UV.

Luck must have been on my side as I was able to craft a bomb with UV CTR Very High in about 10 tries.

The dilemma I have is that should I sell that bomb for about 10k ce (I think that is its price) or keep it to use for myself when I can upgrade it to the sivermist. I don't have that much crowns or ce (fluctuating at around 100~300 ce) nor do I have amazing gear (using wolver eqs+owlite shield and recently crafted a temp. calibur).

Would any experienced players give me advice on what I should do with my haze bomb?

If you don't plan on ever

If you don't plan on ever buying CE with real money, sell it. With the money made from the sale you'll be able to craft a full set of 5 star gear. If you tried to simply grind out the crowns/CE needed to craft 5 star gear in T2, it would take a very long time.

Also, the usefulness of a VH CTR compared to simply a medium/high UV is a bit questionable. It's obviously better, but it's not 10x more valuable than a medium, which is what the market price is. VH/Maximum UVs are typically bought by players who already have a full set of 5 star gear, don't have anything else to spend money on, and are just trying to get BiS gear for exorbitant prices.

Once you get a full set of 5 star gear, you can make enough CE to buy another VH CTR haze bomb if you really want one.

Yeah

You should sell it, with all the CE from the sale you can get yourself a 5 star set.

As Metaphysic said is better to get 5 stars gear quick so you can do tier 2 and 3 dungeons more easily and get mo materials and money, this way you can later spend time only tring to craft items with high UV and sell the flukes to recover the energy you used to forge it.

Anything above High CTR rate

Anything above High CTR rate is wasted because at level 10 it automatically gets 2 levels of CTR. This means a High CTR natually will become a Max at level 10. So really it's not worth anymore than a High. It is however very valuable because you essentially can be a bomber without any bomber armor. Normally you'd take the Mad bomber or Volc Demo set, but you don't need to do that with this bomb.

I'd say sell it for as much as you can get for it and then either buy/craft a High if you can get it for less. A VH CTR might fetch more from an unsuspecting person.

Icee

Medium + High = Ultra

High becomes Ultra when added to the bomb's medium at heat level 10. Very High becomes Max.

1 = Low
2 = Medium
3 = High
4 = Very High
5 = Ultra
6 = Max

UV Very high means you can get max without using any demo gear.

I see. Thanks for the advice

I see. Thanks for the advice guys. I guess I'll sell it and try to get myself to T3 and 5* gear as fast as possible with the money I get from the bomb. Thanks again!
