Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are crucial materials that you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Don't be fooled by their appearance, which might resemble their regular counterparts; Frenzied monsters are significantly more dangerous.

Upon successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll have the opportunity to collect Frenzy Shards. These shards are vital for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your capabilities in the game.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals are another essential crafting material, but they can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you engage with Gore Magala and successfully wound and destroy those wounds, there's a chance you'll obtain a Frenzy Crystal.

You'll start encountering Gore Magala during High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
