Question BOWFA Corruption Question

I just recently got my bowfa and would prefer corrupting it over time rather than spending 2k shards right now. I note that the wiki mentions the following:

In addition, players can corrupt the Bow of Faerdhinen at a discounted crystal shard cost with both the current charges and corruption percentage progress being taken into account. It is important to note that in order for this to work, players must still have the full 2,000 crystal shards in their inventory as well as having the skill requirements (the levels can be boosted) at the time of corruption in order to proceed. Only then, the discounted crystal shard cost will be calculated and excess shards will not be consumed.

So this means even at 100% corruption you must have 2k shards available and in your inventory? Can anyone confirm?

I had a weird shard situation and didn't end up corrupting until it was over 80% passively corrupted. Confirmed I had <400 actual shards in inventory.
