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

Keeping living space clean at all times

      I would definitely go for a recursive island. It’s an island with a lake, that has an island.

      Turns out there’s a ton of them in Finland.

      There I would build my house: by a private lake, with a summer house on the private island on the private lake.

        It’s unfortunelately really hard to get a building permit on a island. They’re virtually always vacation home plots. Funnily enough though islands are usually cheaper than the equivalent size of land on the mainland.

        Of everywhere I traveled, my favorite place in the world to visit was Samosir Island in Lake Toba.

        So it’s a lake island in a volcanic lake on the Island of Sumatra in the worlds biggest Island country (Indonesia).

        Its not a private Island and there are people living there and even tourists coming regularly. But getting to it is quite the effort, so I call it reclusive in that way.

    Inhumanity, by way of a new body. The human body is genuinely just awful and I’d love to have something better.

    Apart from world peace (of course), a change gender voucher. Would probably cost 300 gems or something.

    I’d buy all my time and my kids’, so I could spend their entire childhood with them.

    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.)

    I guess I only need to get rid of my student debt, buy a house, a car that doesn’t break down, then I’ll buy some friends, I’ll buy a nice paying job with a career in my field of expertise and I’ll grab some charisma and friend making skills at the checkout

    All the politicians, judges, etc. in the entire world

    Then maybe some reforms could get done and the world can be better and less corruptable >.>
