Whispers of Yenwood and Blade of the Endless Paths Import?

[Junkermanz]

Hello!

 

I'm doing my first playthrough of PoE1 and want to import a character to do PoE2 soon after. I was planning on selling Whispers of Yenwood but now I see its listed as a reagent for Whispers of the Endless Paths in PoE2. Do I need to keep it in my inventory the entire game in order to import it?

 

Thanks!

I'd say most likely
