Even after you’ve rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with High Rank content. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to get and use Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Frenzy Shards are a valuable resource obtained by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. Although they may resemble their regular counterparts, they are far more dangerous. Frenzied monsters inflict greater damage and exhibit heightened aggression, making them a formidable challenge.
Upon successfully killing or capturing a Frenzied monster, you’ll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards. These shards are essential for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your arsenal and capabilities.
Frenzy Crystals, another crucial crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. When you manage to wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, there’s a chance you’ll obtain a Frenzy Crystal. You can begin your hunt for Gore Magala once you reach the High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest called "Misty Depths."
Frenzy Shards serve as a crafting material similar to others in the game. To utilize them, head to Base Camp and talk to Gemma. You can then craft new gear using your Frenzy Shards. Below is a list of gear that requires Frenzy Shards:
Frenzied monsters can be encountered in most High Rank optional quests. However, some monsters are immune to the Frenzy Virus. The following monsters do not get infected:
Interestingly, Gore Magala itself is the source of the Frenzy Virus, so it remains a prime target for farming Frenzy Crystals.
