Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure doesn't end there. Diving into the High Rank content opens up a new world of challenges and rewards, including the use of Frenzy Shards and Crystals. Here's everything you need to know about obtaining and utilizing these crucial materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are a valuable resource you can acquire by defeating Frenzied monsters within *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing in High Rank missions. While they may resemble their regular counterparts, Frenzied monsters are far more aggressive and deal significantly more damage, posing a formidable challenge. Successfully defeating or capturing one of these frenzied beasts will reward you with Frenzy Shards, which you can then use to craft new weapons and armor.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another essential crafting material, are exclusively obtained from Gore Magala. As you engage in combat and manage to wound Gore Magala, breaking those wounds offers a chance to obtain Frenzy Crystals. You'll encounter Gore Magala once you've progressed to the High Rank quests and unlocked the optional quest known as "Misty Depths."
