Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are valuable resources you can acquire by defeating Frenzied monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Frenzy Crystals are another crucial crafting material, but they can only be obtained from Gore Magala.

You'll start encountering Gore Magala once you progress into High Rank quests and unlock the optional quest titled "Misty Depths."
