Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are obtained by defeating Frenzied monsters. These infected beasts appear in High Rank missions. While visually similar to their regular counterparts, Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal substantially more damage. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster yields Frenzy Shards, crucial 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 parts during combat has a chance of yielding Frenzy Crystals. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically the optional quest "Misty Depths."
