Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are vital resources you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions.

Frenzy Crystals serve as another crucial crafting material, but they are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala.

You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, specifically after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
