Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are earned by defeating Frenzied monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. These infected creatures appear in High Rank missions. While visually similar to their standard counterparts, Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal substantially more damage. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster will yield Frenzy Shards, crucial for crafting powerful new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals, another essential crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. Damaging Gore Magala and destroying its wounds provides a chance to acquire these rare crystals. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically the optional quest "Misty Depths."
