Corrupted items will be used as a component during the crafting process, but it's a component that can be one of MANY others. IF you have this material available, you'll be able to use it for its' properties, but if you do not, you'll just use something else instead. It's not like you WON'T be able to craft your item, just that maybe you only get +10 instead of +12, or maybe this material focuses on Str Agil, instead of the normal item which does Str Stam or something. Corrupted materials will most likely just be better versions of what you would normally use.
