as of a few days ago, i was looking this was abouot 7-8K On Ifrit in Jeuno, however, if you have the levels (32 to be exact you can the the HG version (Whale Staff) [HP+14 MP+7 WTR+7] for about 9-10K the choice is up to you. If you want less HP+ and use 5 levels sooner then get Dolphin. Or I suppose you could purchase Dolphin use for 5 levels, sell back and buy Whale, for the difference.
