Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize these essential materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are a valuable resource that you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, become available during High Rank missions. Don't be fooled by their familiar appearances; Frenzied monsters are far more aggressive and deal significantly higher damage. Successfully killing or capturing one will reward you with Frenzy Shards, which are crucial for forging new weapons and armor.

Frenzy Crystals are another crafting material, but these are exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. When you wound Gore Magala and subsequently destroy those wounds, you have a chance to obtain a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala once you delve into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest known as Misty Depths.
