Kakao Games and PearlAbyss today announced two major region updates to the popular Mediah territory after receiving community feedback.
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 reform of Sausan Garrison and Shultz Guard Post brings a new balance to Black Desert Online as it expands opportunities for both new and existing players. While Sausan Garrison is available to new adventurers, the new Shultz Guard Post is a competitive spot with a much higher AP range, designed for players that have more advanced gear. Together, both areas will bring more diversity and balance to the Mediah territory, as many members of the community have requested.
Other Mediah regions will be rebalanced in subsequent patches, which will be rolled out in the coming weeks. For more information on these changes and other updates added to Black Desert Online, please read the detailed GM notes here.
