Thanks to a wealth of community feedback, Kakao Games and PearlAbyss went ahead and did a total overhaul to the Sausan Garrison in Black Desert Online.Monsters that roam the popular grinding spot in Black Desert Online’s Mediah region now give more experience. Sausan Garrison will now have an optimal AP range, so that all adventurers within the AP range will be able to easily hunt monsters in the area. If the adventurer’s AP is lower, the efficiency of grinding will be diminished. However, players with a higher AP will not be able to defeat monsters more efficiently than those who occupy the ideal AP range. This change will help new users venturing into Sausan Garrison and prevent the area from being dominated by over-geared adventurers.
Apart from the Sausan Garrison overhaul, there is a new area called Shultz Guard Post that is intended for more experienced players. Shultz Guard Post sits upon a hill in Northwest Mediah that gazes across the ocean. After the death of Shultz, the greatest gladiator and hero of Sausan, the royal guards left Mediah in search of a forbidden ritual to revive their great leader. Now they have come back, following a clue that the “Dark Red Crystals” in Mediah may hold the secret they seek.

The developers feel as though these two areas will now better benefit players of all ranges. The Sausan Garrison will benefit those of lower levels and new adventurers, the Shultz Guard Post will be for those of a higher skill level with better gear.
There will be more rebalancing coming in future patches, so this is only the beginning. The full patch notes for today's update can be found at the Black Desert Online forums. Also of note here is that Black Desert Online is on sale through the Steam Summer Sale starting at $7.99 (USD) for the base game.
