I go to Eulmore during prime hours, and shout an offer of 1,000,000 gil each for 15/30 minutes of sitting in my workshop. I normally get about 8 responses within 3 minutes. If you have all your materials and craft multiple pieces at a time, it takes around 2 minutes per piece.

The lower the rank of the pieces, the bigger the boost they get from modification. Upgrading a Shark or Unkiu part gets a much larger stat boost than upgrading a Coelacanth or Syldra.
