Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are obtained 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. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster will yield Frenzy Shards, crucial components for crafting powerful new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals, another vital crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. Damaging and breaking Gore Magala's wounds presents a chance to acquire these rare crystals. You'll unlock the opportunity to battle Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically the optional quest "Misty Depths."
