Fighting with the ground burdened status reduces your combat effectiveness by 25% (to-hit and zap block chances at least), while being stressed increases that to a wand dry without worrying about whopping 50% decrease. Being encumbered also causes your agility to steadily decrease over time. To effectively train your leg strength, you will require a good, stable source of food like Mellis, Seges, polypiling and to some extent Silva while in Attnam or New Attnam or Nefas if you're strong enough to kill and eat the stack ordermistresses. Pick This is because the only real way to increase your LSTR is to move and run while stressed, which wildly increases your metabolism rate. Once you've secured a way to keep yourself from starving to death, pick up enough items to go stressed and read the mirrored copies between each rechargerun around in a safe environment like a small room or above ground. Dug out stones for polypiling are excellent for this purpose, as they will disappear after polypiling always results in a short large deal of food. Eat whenever you become hungry to not lose stats to starvation. Training LSTR takes time, and you're very likely to lose agility in the process. The lost agility can be regained later by running while if unusedunencumbered.

All of the info presented here is based on personal experiences or the community's findings. While I am fairly certain there are no gross inaccuracies, I may recall some things wrong - take any numbers or similar with a grain of salt.
Note that banana kicking, library shoplifting and elite guard taming are '''no longer valid in the latest versions!''' The guide remains up to date otherwise.
==Short rundown of the general strategy==
If you're cloning and aren't overflowing with SoHMs or SoCMs, clone enough to upgrade every piece of equipment (armor+weaponry). Rest of the scrolls should always be enchantment scrolls. Take a step back from the stack, stand next to it, then zap it with the wand. Revise the stack order to suit your needs (pick up everything if you have to), then zap again. Continue until you've got only one cloning charge remaining.
Wands of mirroring aren't as effective for upgrading equipment, as they are incapable of copying scrolls of harden material or change material. This also means you can just dump your 5 enchantment scrolls in your desired ratio on the ground and zap a wand dry without worrying about the stack order. Pick up and read the mirrored copies between each recharge, as they will disappear after a short while if unused. Examplesituation:
* 6 scroll of enchant weapon
# Use all SoEW on the whip
# Clone 4 EA, spider silk whip +11
# Read rest enchant scrolls, you've now got two spider silk whips of thievery +11 with other equipment octiron +6 to +7.
* Carefully consider whether or not you can skip drinking from fountains in UT.
====Healthand stats====
* Don't eat kobolds, zombies, snakes, giant spiders, skunks, anything mutant, werewolves, orcs or frogs. Everything else is edible and should be eaten before those cans of banana flesh or meat loaves.
* If you catch a parasite ("You feel you are no longer alone"/"You feel something violently carving through your intestines"), vomit repeatedly until you receive a message about a dead tapeworm coming out.
* Avoid being burdened/stressed (unless training LSTR), this hurts your agility and combat effectiveness.
* If your limbs start falling off, you've caught leprosy. Drink an antidote to get rid of it in dungeons. If you can, you may also wish to use the New Attnam priestess or the Attnam priest to first attach the limb and only then cure the disease. Remove all equipment from your limbs if using the Attnam priest, or you'll lose it if one falls off in the cathedral.
* Telecontrol is what makes teleporting awesome.
* You can gain permanent ESP or telecontrol by eating at least 3 floating eyes or blink dogs in a row, respectively. Permanent haste is also possible to gain by praying to Cleptia first for her buff, then emptying multiple wands on yourself and applying them.
* Being resurrected (wand/AoLS) clears all status effects not provided by equipment.
