For those still wondering about book:
And if I got it right, those quests are available at Beginner Battle Class Boards (where you have the combat training quests around your rebirth location)
I did all the quests at the board on my over 1k Elf in NA, I did not get the book.
On my new Elf in JP, I got the book after doing all the beginner quests triggered at Castanae/Duncan, I never talked to the beginner board. But NA's book supposedly makes you collect all the gates before being able to use the book for them, wheras JP gave you all of them. (I prefer collecting gates.) But the point being, NA might have done it slightly differently. JP also does not have black hair for elves, or freckles, blush, scars, or facial hair. (JP does have tattoos, moles, and starving face.)

So...can you not get a dye by choosing to rebirth in Tir anymore? o.O Or has this not been a thing for awhile? Just started playing again.
I don't know how it is in NA, but when I rebirthed for free in JP, it let me rebirth at Connous but I did not get a dye.
My one of my alts are under total 1k. He did not get the book. But there are also characters well over 1k on the same account, so perhaps, unlike other beginner benefits, this requires to not have any over 1k characters?
