I wanted reduced teleportation costs as well and knew it took deep green clusters, so I unlocked the middle one, figuring that would be the green one (since the sectors are always in R G B order), and was rather upset to find out it was the Blue set (crafting/gathering stat boosts) instead >_< So, the top one is Red, the middle one is Blue, and the last one is Green. That means:

Aetherial Wheel Prototype V (Deep Red Clusters)

• Recreation (Increased MGP gain)
• Rivalry (Increased Wolf Mark gain)
• Company (Increased GC Seal gain)
• Productivity (Increased exp from gathering)
• Industry (Increased exp from crafting)
• Longeing (Increased choco exp)

Aetherial Wheel Prototype VI (Deep Blue Clusters)

• Efficiency (+ Crafts)
• Precision (+ Control)
• Capacity (+ Gathering)
• Observation (+ Perception)
• Dedication (Increased spiritbond speed)

Aetherial Wheel Prototype VII (Deep Green Clusters)

• Pilgrimage (Reduced teleportation costs)
• Nutriment (Increased food duration)
• Permanence (Decreased durability loss)

EDIT: Ninajed :P

I think most FCs will find teleport reduction not worthwhile. Some napkin math: if you teleport 20 times per day and each teleport costs 1000g, you'd only be saving 3k (I think it's 15%, does anyone know?) per person with those generous numbers. Compare that to saving 1 food (if you eat at least 3 end game food per day at 5k-20k each). Even if you don't raid and don't need end game food, just outright selling the deep green cluster may be worth more than the collective savings from teleport buff if clusters are selling on your MB. They're about 170k on my server, but even at 100k each, you'd need 900 people to make up for the cost of 9x clusters. There's also the opportunity cost of that action slot to consider.

I think for very large FCs full of leveling characters, the teleport buff may be worthwhile for gil savings (but leveling FCs should run xp up and stat up, even if they're only rank 2). But outside of that, you're likely to get a better return from selling the clusters.

If you get Recreation, do you get more MGP for selling cards and collecting Mini cactpot prizes?

Yes on mini cactpot, no when selling cards (according to ServerCollaps' post). It also works with the Cactpot (consolation) prize

Is there any way to obtain more favourable ratings? Most of my airships ratings are B and C.

The Rating that shows is just the amount of bonus exp you get. And most of the time its just showing the rating on the last sector you visited. So don't worry too much about it ^^

Yea, the rating itself is not the important part as it's an arbitrarily assigned letter, but the bonus exp that you get can influence the rating (namely on the last sector visited I think is what people's voyages suggested?). If you were wondering how to increase your bonus exp, you want to increase your retrieval stat (and also maybe surveilance stat?), as your ship gets more exp for bringing back larger quantities of items.

Its not just the quantities but as well if you get dual items and what winds show up. But then you can get high winds optimal retrieval on both items and still get an Abysmal (Which rates as C and gives no bonus exp) in the end... so, meh rng is rng ^^

it doesnt work for cards

Do I have to do anything specific to unlock Sector 13, 14 & 16? I have 11 & 12 unlocked and have been doing them with a Full Enterprise Build and I haven't unlocked anything beyond Sector 12.
