Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are acquired by defeating Frenzied monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. These infected beasts appear in High Rank missions. While they may resemble their standard counterparts, their increased aggression and damage output make them formidable foes. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster yields Frenzy Shards, crucial for crafting powerful new weapons and armor.

Frenzy Crystals are another valuable crafting material, but their acquisition is more specific. They are obtained from Gore Magala. Damaging and breaking Gore Magala's wounds offers a chance to receive a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically the optional quest "Misty Depths."
