Acquiring Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards drop exclusively from Frenzied monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Frenzied monsters emerge during High Rank quests. While resembling standard monsters, they become significantly more dangerous. Infected with the Frenzy Virus, these enhanced creatures inflict greater damage and display unprecedented aggression.

Successful hunts or captures reward players with Frenzy Shards, essential materials for crafting advanced weapons and armor.

Obtaining Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Crystals serve as rare crafting components obtained solely from Gore Magala. Damaging and destroying specific wound points on this creature yields chances for Crystal drops.

Gore Magala becomes available through the High Rank questline, specifically via the optional "Misty Depths" mission.

Using Frenzy Shards and Crystals

These materials function like standard crafting resources. Visit Base Camp and consult Gemma to forge powerful equipment. Below is the complete crafting list requiring Frenzy materials:

Entbehrung I | Fledderklauen I | Tyrannearm I | Todlicher Abzug I | Leumundslist | Faulnisschleuder I | Eisenleib | Elendskraft I | Schattenstolz I | Wuchtblick I

Kummerklang I | Eiferschild I | Stahlfakt I | Sucher-Ankh I | Artian Mail | Artian Coil | Gore Coil | Damascus Helm | Gore Coil

Locating Frenzied Monsters

Most High Rank optional quests feature Frenzied variants. Only three monsters remain unaffected by the Frenzy Virus:

Zoh Shia | Arkveld | Gore Magala

While immune, Gore Magala serves as the Virus origin and remains farmable for Frenzy Crystals.
