"Guide to Obtaining Frenzy Shards and Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with the High Rank content. Here's a comprehensive 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 essential 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 be fooled by their familiar appearance; Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, posing a formidable challenge. Upon successfully killing or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, which you can use to forge 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 wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, there's a chance you'll receive a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
