Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are acquired by defeating Frenzied monsters. These infected beasts appear in High Rank missions and are significantly more aggressive and powerful than their standard counterparts. Don't underestimate them! Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster will yield Frenzy Shards, crucial for forging 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 and breaking Gore Magala's wounds during combat provides a chance to obtain these rare 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 any other crafting material. Visit Gemma at Base Camp to craft new equipment using your hard-earned Frenzy Shards. Some examples of gear requiring these materials 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. However, Zoh, Shia, Arkveld, and Gore Magala are exceptions; they do not have the Frenzy Virus. Note that while Gore Magala itself is immune, it remains the source of Frenzy Crystals.
