Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards can be acquired by defeating Frenzied monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monsters infected with the Frenzy Virus begin appearing during High Rank missions. Although they may resemble their regular counterparts, don’t let appearances deceive you—frenzied monsters pack a punch, dealing significantly more damage and displaying heightened aggression.

After slaying or capturing a Frenzied monster, you’ll receive Frenzy Shards, which can be used to craft new weapons and armor.

Frenzy Crystals serve as another valuable crafting resource, but these can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you wound Gore Magala and break its wounds, there’s a chance you’ll be rewarded with a Frenzy Crystal.

You can start battling Gore Magala once you progress to High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled Misty Depths.
