Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's still plenty to explore and achieve, especially when you dive into the High Rank content. Let's delve into how to acquire and utilize Frenzy Shards and Crystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards can be obtained by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These creatures, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. Although they may resemble their regular counterparts, don't underestimate them. Frenzied monsters are far more aggressive and deal significantly more damage, making them a formidable challenge.
Upon successfully killing or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards. These shards are crucial for forging new weapons and armor, enhancing your capabilities in the game.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another essential crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. When you wound Gore Magala and break those wounds, there's a chance you'll obtain a Frenzy Crystal.
You'll encounter Gore Magala in High Rank quests, particularly after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths." This is your gateway to farming these valuable crystals.
