Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's still plenty to see and do as you dive into the High Rank content. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to get and use Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are valuable resources that you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. While they may resemble their regular counterparts, don't underestimate them—Frenzied monsters deal significantly more damage and exhibit heightened aggression, posing a serious threat on the battlefield. After successfully killing or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, which are essential for forging new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals are another crucial crafting material, but they can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you manage to wound Gore Magala and subsequently destroy those wounds, there's a chance you'll obtain a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
