Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
To obtain Frenzy Shards, you'll need to take on Frenzied monsters, which start appearing during High Rank missions. These monsters, infected with the Frenzy Virus, are not to be underestimated.

Successfully defeating or capturing a Frenzied monster will reward you with Frenzy Shards, essential for forging powerful new weapons and armor.
