Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are acquired by defeating Frenzied monsters encountered in High Rank missions. These infected creatures, while visually similar to their standard counterparts, are significantly more aggressive and deal substantially more damage. Don't underestimate them! Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster will reward you with Frenzy Shards, crucial components for crafting powerful new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals are another essential crafting material, but their acquisition is more specific. They are obtained exclusively from Gore Magala. By inflicting wounds on Gore Magala and subsequently destroying those wounds, you have a chance to receive a Frenzy Crystal. You'll unlock the opportunity to hunt Gore Magala once you progress to High Rank quests and the optional quest "Misty Depths" becomes available.

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals

Frenzy Shards function like other crafting materials in the game. Return to Base Camp and speak with Gemma to begin crafting new equipment using your hard-earned Frenzy 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 will feature Frenzied monsters. However, the following monsters are notably exempt from the Frenzy Virus: Zoh, Shia, Arkveld, and Gore Magala (although Gore Magala itself is the source of the Frenzy Crystals).
