Easily harvest lifeforce!
This is the easiest and quickest way to harvest any of the 4 life forces you need. I HIGHLY suggest you first make sure to have a few things before doing serious harvesting. Not only will it help out a ton when fighting the Beetles, but you will also get some achievements. You will most likely need a lot of minions to start off in order to save up. Here's what you really should work towards getting first off:
Arcanium Sword + 100% Brown minion upgrade (read: Sword, NOT Mace; Sword is way faster than Mace and makes up for the extra damage with speed, plus having full Brown gives +150 damage, which makes the Sword pretty nice!)
Arcanium Armor + 100% Green minion upgrade (the Armor itself is pretty tough anyway, so having all Greens put into the Armor will make your health regenerate like a mofo. mine is 80%, and my health regens like mad.)
OPTIONAL - Arcanium Helmet + 100% Any minion upgrade (not necesary. you can have any other helmet, but upgrading 100% will give you +15 horde points, so incase you need more minions)
Go into the dungeon and fight any of the 4 types of beetles depending on what you need life force of.
Brown - BATTLER BEETLE
Green - PUFF BEETLE
Red - MAGMA BEETLE
Blue - DAZZLER BEETLE
Every time you complete any of the Beetle fights, you will get 75 life force of whatever type of beetle you picked and battles usually take only roughly 1 minute depending on how cautious you are.
So first off focus on beating Puff and Battler Beetles like crazy and save up enough Green and Brown life force to upgrade at least an Arcanium Sword and Armor, then once those are fully upgraded, you will be able to annihilate Beetles ON YOUR OWN (read: NO minions!), that way you arent wasting the life force you just harvested by letting some minions die!

Smelter Glitch
I went around the web and found a Smelter glitch that allows to to upgrade your equipment without sacrificing any minions! All you need to do is when your upgrading or forging add whatever minions you want and when you hit forge press start when the camera immediately is above the smelter before the minions come out. then after you press start exit game and load it. you'll find no minions where sacrificed and the upragde has been done! Does work i've tried it and maxed my acranium mace. [by: glitch]
Easy Max Imbued Gear
Forge a piece of gear without imbuing anything into it, then, go to upgrade it, put as many minions into it as you want and as soon as the animation starts but before any minions jump into the smelter, hit start to pause the game and exit, when you come back, the minions will have been imbued, but won't have been taken from your supply. Makes it real easy to get the Ultimate gear achievements...
Hint - Poor Overlord's Power-up
If you died recently and your minions are weakened, go to either Halfling Homes or the village of Spree, and break all the objects for new weapons and armor. This is no substitute for actually upgrading your minions, but it works at the start of the game!
Dungeon Force
When lifeforce is harder to come by with the advance smelters, visit the tower dungeon and use the staged fights to earn lifeforce. A mix of minions will let you set ambushes and revive any losses. The only downside are that your have no spells to use. [by: Guest]
