Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are crucial for crafting and can be obtained by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, begin to appear during High Rank missions. Although they may resemble their regular counterparts, don't be fooled—Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, posing a formidable challenge.

After successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards. These shards are essential for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your arsenal to tackle even tougher challenges.

Frenzy Crystals, another vital crafting material, can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, there's a chance you'll acquire a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, particularly after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
