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, don't be fooled—they are significantly more aggressive and inflict greater damage. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster yields Frenzy Shards, essential 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 more specific. They are obtained exclusively from Gore Magala. Damaging and breaking Gore Magala's parts during combat provides 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. Return to Base Camp and speak with Gemma to craft new equipment 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. However, the following monsters are not affected by the Frenzy Virus: Zoh, Shia, Arkveld, and Gore Magala (Gore Magala itself is the source of the Frenzy Virus, and can be hunted for Frenzy Crystals).
