Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are obtained 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 inflict greater 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 are another valuable crafting material, but their acquisition is exclusive to Gore Magala. Damaging and breaking Gore Magala's wounds offers a chance to obtain Frenzy Crystals. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically the optional quest "Misty Depths."

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals

Frenzy Shards function like other crafting materials. Visit Gemma at Base Camp to craft new gear using your collected Shards. Some examples of gear requiring Frenzy Shards include: Entbehrung I, Fledderklauen I, Tyrannearm I, Todlicher Abzug I, Leumundslist, Faulnisschleuder I, Eisenleib, Elendskraft I, Schattenstolz I, Wuchtblick I, Kummerklang I, Eiferschild I, Stahlfakt I, Sucher-Ankh I, Artian Mail, Artian Coil, Gore Coil, Damascus Helm, and Gore Coil.

How to Find Frenzied Monsters

Most High Rank optional quests feature Frenzied monsters. Exceptions, those without the Frenzy Virus, include: Zoh, Shia, Arkveld, and Gore Magala (Gore Magala itself is the source of the Frenzy Virus, and can be hunted for Frenzy Crystals).
