Getting Frenzy Shards in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frenzy Shards are a valuable resource 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. Don't be fooled by their familiar appearance; Frenzied monsters are significantly more aggressive and deal increased damage, posing a formidable challenge.
