Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are essential crafting materials that you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, begin to appear during High Rank missions. Despite their similar appearance to regular monsters, don't underestimate them; Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal much more damage, posing a serious threat.

Frenzy Crystals, another vital crafting material, can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, you have a chance of acquiring a Frenzy Crystal. You'll start encountering Gore Magala in High Rank quests, particularly after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
