Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds

Frenzy Shards are acquired by defeating Frenzied monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. These infected creatures appear in High Rank missions. While resembling their standard counterparts, Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and inflict greater damage. Successfully hunting or capturing a Frenzied monster will yield Frenzy Shards, crucial for crafting powerful new weapons and armor.
