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 inflict greater damage. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster yields Frenzy Shards, crucial components for crafting powerful new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another valuable crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. Damaging and breaking Gore Magala's wounds presents a chance to acquire these rare crystals. Gore Magala becomes available 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 enhanced gear using these shards. 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, and Damascus Helm. Gore Coil is also crafted using Frenzy Crystals.
How to Find Frenzied Monsters
Most High Rank optional quests feature Frenzied monsters. Exceptions, those immune to the Frenzy Virus, include Zoh, Shia, Arkveld, and Gore Magala (Gore Magala itself being the source of the Frenzy Virus and thus farmable for Frenzy Crystals).
