    Orb it.


    Tisha has a 15.5% chance to work at going to +11, that means an average of 6.45 tries. Each failure requiring an Ocean Orb to recover from means that on average you'll need 5.45 Oceans to do it. At current sale price of 25G per, and approx Sanct gold cost of 1.5m, that would cost you 37.5M per Ocean Orb, making your average Tisha to +11 cost about 205M.


    An 11* Orb takes 1155 1*'s and 1 Ocean Orb to craft. Shops were selling 1*'s as low as 110k ea during a recent sale, combined with today's Ocean price, we get 165M as our cost. If you were to set up a shop today to buy 1*'s, you should still be able to beat the average Tisha cost by using orbs (breaks even at around 145k per 1*).


    Unless you're feeling very lucky, I'd go with the sure thing. It took me 14 tries to Tisha my bow, costing me double what it would have to orb it, and that was back when you could get Oceans in packs of 5 for 80G.
