This may sound difficult, but in practice it's very simple. Just drop scrolls, make sure you're cloning the right ones, clone enough of everything and bueno, you're well-equipped.
==Training stats==
This section will cover the main methods to increase your leg strength, intelligence and wisdom naturally without the aid of ommel supplements. Training agility and dexterity will be covered later in the level-by-level walkthrough.
====LSTR====
Leg strength is an important stat to increase to the point where your chosen equipment and basic supplies no longer cause you to become encumbered. Fighting with the burdened status reduces your combat effectiveness by 25% (to-hit and block chances at least), while being stressed increases that to a 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 mistresses. 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 run around in a safe environment like a small room or above ground. Dug out stones for polypiling are excellent for this purpose, as polypiling always results in a 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 unencumbered.
====INT/WIS====
Aside from the natural stat gains from praying or reading scrolls and books, you can use so called sci-talking to gain points in both intelligence and wisdom. This is the act of repeatedly talking to certain neutral or tame NPCs, which with high enough stats occasionally engage you in a stat-training conversation.
