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 get and use Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are crucial for crafting in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, and you can obtain them by defeating Frenzied monsters. 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. These shards are essential for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your arsenal for tougher battles ahead.

Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals are another vital crafting material, but they're exclusive to Gore Magala. To obtain these crystals, you must wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, which gives you a chance to collect Frenzy Crystals.

You'll encounter Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths." This quest is your gateway to farming Frenzy Crystals, so prepare thoroughly for the challenge.
