Dhaal Party Event
The Dhaal party is a main quest event that must be completed to continue the game. Steele will go to a large networking event/party focused on the Zaibatsus, in an attempt to improve relations with them and find clues to the probe's location.
Party invitation
The first time Steele enters the space south of Gyre's End Taxi (see party invite location image). They will be approached by Darius and his Paragon bodyguards who will then give Steele the Steele Tech invitation for the event, whilst also allowing Steele to ask him some questions.
- Zaibatsus? - What can Darius tell you about the three corporations native to Dhaal?
- Steele Tech - What’s Steele Tech’s operation on Dhaal?
- The Shindig - So about this party...
- Darius’s Job - So what’s Darius’s role in the company anyway?
- Done - Take the invite and part ways with the Steele Tech rep.
Attending the party
To attend the party Steele must wear "proper" clothes, this means their clothes must have the "Classy" tag.
Should Steele not be in possession of clothes with this flag, they can buy some from Gwon in her "Gabmart Threadz" shop.

Base events
