Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are obtained by defeating or capturing Frenzied monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. These creatures become infected with the Frenzy Virus and appear during High Rank quests. While they may resemble their regular counterparts at first glance, Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, making them a real challenge to take down.

Once you successfully defeat or capture one of these enraged beasts, you’ll have the chance to collect Frenzy Shards as a reward. These shards are crucial for forging high-tier weapons and armor sets that can give you an edge in combat.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another valuable crafting material, are exclusive drops from Gore Magala. When you damage Gore Magala and break its wounds during battle, there’s a chance it will drop a Frenzy Crystal.

To begin farming these crystals, you’ll need to progress to the High Rank quests and complete the optional mission titled "Misty Depths." Once unlocked, you can regularly hunt Gore Magala and focus on breaking its wound points to increase your chances of obtaining Frenzy Crystals.

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals
Using Frenzy Shards is straightforward: head to the Base Camp and speak with Gemma to access crafting options. With Frenzy Shards, you can forge several high-level weapons and armor pieces such as:

• Entbehrung I
• Fledderklauen I
• Tyrannearm I
• Todlicher Abzug I
• Leumundslist
• Faulnisschleuder I
• Eisenleib

Frenzy Crystals are also used in various advanced crafting recipes, often required for enhancing or unlocking specific gear tied to Gore Magala and other Frenzy-related content.

How to Find Frenzied Monsters
Most High Rank optional quests will feature Frenzied monsters, giving you plenty of opportunities to farm Frenzy Shards. The only exceptions are:

• Zoh Shia
• Arkveld
• Gore Magala

Note that while Gore Magala cannot be frenzied, it remains the source of the virus and is still a reliable way to farm Frenzy Crystals.
