Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Defeating Frenzied monsters is the key to obtaining Frenzy Shards. These infected creatures appear in High Rank missions. While they may resemble their standard counterparts, their increased aggression and damage output make them formidable foes. 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 are another valuable crafting material, but their acquisition is more exclusive. They are obtained by damaging and breaking wounds on Gore Magala. This formidable beast becomes available once you progress to High Rank quests and unlock the optional "Misty Depths" quest.
How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals
Frenzy Shards function like any other crafting material. Visit Gemma at Base Camp to craft new equipment using your collected shards. Examples of gear requiring these 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 a recipient of these shards.
How to Find Frenzied Monsters
Most High Rank optional quests feature Frenzied monsters. Notable exceptions, lacking the Frenzy Virus, include: Zoh, Shia, Arkveld, and Gore Magala (Gore Magala itself is the source of the virus and can be hunted for Frenzy Crystals).
