Even after you’ve rolled credits in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure continues with High Rank content. A key part of this journey involves acquiring and utilizing Frenzy Shards and Crystals. Here's your comprehensive guide to mastering these resources.
Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are crucial for forging new gear and can be obtained by defeating or capturing Frenzied monsters during High Rank missions. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage compared to their regular counterparts. Do not underestimate them; they pose a serious threat. Upon successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster, you'll be rewarded with Frenzy Shards, which are essential for crafting.
Getting Frenzy Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Crystals, another vital crafting material, are exclusively dropped by Gore Magala. To obtain these crystals, you must engage and wound Gore Magala during combat. By destroying the wounds inflicted on Gore Magala, you increase your chances of obtaining a Frenzy Crystal. Access to Gore Magala becomes available once you reach High Rank and unlock the optional quest "Misty Depths."
