Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
To obtain Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll need to defeat or capture Frenzied monsters. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. Although they may resemble their regular counterparts, they are significantly more dangerous. Frenzied monsters not only deal increased damage but are also much more aggressive, making them a formidable challenge. Upon defeating or capturing these monsters, you will acquire Frenzy Shards, which are essential for crafting new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals are another crucial crafting material, but they are exclusive to Gore Magala. To obtain these crystals, you must wound Gore Magala and destroy the wounds during combat, which gives you a chance to obtain a Frenzy Crystal. You can begin hunting Gore Magala once you reach High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."

How to Find Frenzied Monsters
Most High Rank optional quests will feature Frenzied monsters. However, not all monsters in the game are affected by the Frenzy Virus. The following monsters do not carry the virus:
- Zoh
- Shia
- Arkveld
- Gore Magala
Note that while Gore Magala itself is not considered Frenzied, it is the source of the Frenzy Virus, making it a prime target for farming Frenzy Crystals.
And that’s how to effectively farm Frenzy Shards and Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and in-depth information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
