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.)
