Anything goes but I’m particularly interested in habits/practices/abillities that are real and otherwise can be developed with time and effort.

    Proficiency in Ancient Greek, Avestan, Hittite, Old Church Slavonic, Sanskrit, and Tocharian A.

    Yes, this can be developed with enough time and effort, but I’m no elf to live a millennium and resources for those languages are awful to find.

      Wouldn’t Tocharian B be better?

      With A you could read mostly Buddhist scriptures that already exist in other languages, but with B you could read more historically-relevant secular works.

        Frankly I’d be a happy camper with either. My focus isn’t too much on what those languages were used for, but on Proto-Indo-European reconstruction; having more points of reference is always useful.

        (That said you’re right that Toch. B would be better - it seems to be more conservative. I thought that it was the opposite.)
