    Step 4: Extract the contents of ConvergenceFiles.rar and drop them into your EQ client folder. Overwrite any existing files when prompted.
    Optional Bazaar Fix:
    If you want to use the old version of the Bazaar zone:
    • Go to your client folder
    • Delete or rename bazaar.eqg
  • Spells & Patch Files:
    Keep an eye on the spells_us.txt and dbstr_us.txt files posted below. When updated, overwrite them in your client folder.
    That's it — you're ready to play on Convergence!

Plan out your toons before you start leveling.  A balanced raid is recommended.

Some advice: 2 warriors. 1 or 2 knights.  Bard cleric for every group.  A dedicated rot group helps a lot.  Especially early on.  Some sample group setups are listed below.

Tank Group: Bard, Cleric, Warrior 1, Warrior 2, 2nd cleric/druid/shaman, enchanter

Melee Group: Bard, Cleric, Monk, Berserker, Rogue, Beastlord/Ranger/Shaman

Caster Group: Bard, Cleric, Wizard, Magician, Necro, Enchanter/Druid/Wizard

Rot Group: Bard, Cleric x5

There will be splinters and likely a lot of other gear.  Just splinter gear will get you from level 1 to 60 and allow you to start raiding.  The other gear on there will jump start you even further.

Leveling to 60.

You can level your toons however you want.  There is no penalty on this server for leveling as a raid.  For example, a raid of 54 toons from level 1 to level 60 took just over 3 weeks from creation to level 60.  These toons had tanks fully decked in splinter gear to start and did have a lvl 60 druid tagging along to help, but with a Shoala stick or going to hub for buffs, you can actually receive more beneficial buffs.  Path taken - 1 to 20 Kurns, 20 to 35 Mistmoore, 35 to 45 City of Mist, 45 to 53 Velks, 53 to 60 Sebilis.
