Even after you've rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, there's still plenty to see and do as you dive into 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 essential crafting materials that you can obtain by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, start appearing during High Rank missions. Although they might resemble their regular counterparts, don't underestimate them. Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, making them formidable opponents.

After 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 are another important crafting material, but they can only be obtained from Gore Magala. When you wound Gore Magala and destroy those wounds, you have a chance to acquire a Frenzy Crystal. You'll encounter Gore Magala during High Rank quests, particularly after unlocking the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."

How to Use Frenzy Shards and Crystals

Utilizing Frenzy Shards is straightforward, similar to using any other crafting material in the game. Head to Base Camp and speak with Gemma to start crafting new gear with your Frenzy Shards. Here's a list of gear that requires these shards:
