Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's still plenty to explore with the High Rank content. Here's your 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 vital resources obtained by taking down 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 defeating or capturing these creatures, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, essential for crafting new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals are another key crafting material, exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. When you successfully wound and destroy parts of Gore Magala during combat, you have a chance to obtain these valuable crystals. You can encounter Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest "Misty Depths."
