Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with High Rank content. Here's your guide to obtaining and using Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are your reward for taking down Frenzied monsters. These creatures, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing in High Rank missions. Don't let their familiar appearance fool you; they're far more aggressive and deal significantly more damage than their regular counterparts. After defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll collect Frenzy Shards, essential for crafting new weapons and armor.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals, another crucial crafting material, are exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. To get these crystals, you'll need to wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds during your battle. You can start hunting Gore Magala once you reach High Rank and unlock the optional quest "Misty Depths."

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals

Using Frenzy Shards is as straightforward as using any other crafting material in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Visit Base Camp and talk to Gemma to begin crafting. Here’s a list of gear you can create with Frenzy Shards:

How to Find Frenzied Monsters

Frenzied monsters are primarily encountered in High Rank optional quests. However, not all monsters can become Frenzied. The following monsters do not carry the Frenzy Virus:

• Zoh
• Shia
• Arkveld
• Gore Magala

Interestingly, while Gore Magala itself is immune to the Frenzy Virus, it's the source of the virus and thus a prime target for farming Frenzy Crystals.
