Even after you’ve rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with the exciting High Rank content. Here’s your guide on how to acquire and utilize Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are crucial crafting materials 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. Don’t let their familiar appearance fool you; Frenzied monsters are much more aggressive and deal significantly more damage than their regular counterparts. Successfully killing or capturing one of these formidable foes will reward you with Frenzy Shards, which you can then use to forge powerful new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another essential crafting material, are exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. To obtain these crystals, you need to wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, increasing your chances of securing a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala during High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals
Frenzy Shards are used like any other crafting material in the game. To craft new gear, head to Base Camp and speak with Gemma. Here's a list of gear that requires Frenzy Shards:
- Entbehrung I
- Fledderklauen I
- Tyrannearm I
- Todlicher Abzug I
- Leumundslist

How to Find Frenzied Monsters
Most High Rank optional quests will feature Frenzied monsters. However, certain monsters are immune to the Frenzy Virus, including:
- Zoh
- Shia
- Arkveld
- Gore Magala
Interestingly, while Gore Magala itself is not affected by the Frenzy Virus, it remains a key source for farming Frenzy Crystals.
And that’s how you can effectively farm Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
