How To Fix The Requirements Not Met Bug In Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 Early Access: Fixing the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Bug

Early Access games, like Path of Exile 2, inevitably encounter bugs. A current issue for some players is a "Requirements Not Met" error when attempting to allocate skill points. This guide outlines potential solutions.

What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug in Path of Exile 2?

Players report receiving a "Requirements Not Met" message when trying to unlock passive abilities, even when adjacent nodes are unlocked. The root cause is debated; it might be a genuine bug or an intricate game mechanic. Regardless, resolving this error is crucial for skill tree progression.

Solutions for the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Glitch

Several fixes have been reported by players. Let's explore these potential solutions:

Verify Skill Point Types

Advanced gameplay introduces various skill point types: Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and eventually, Ascendancy Points. The "Requirements Not Met" error might appear if you're trying to use the wrong point type for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for your point allocation breakdown.

Refund and Respec Your Skill Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points may be the culprit. The solution involves a complete respec. Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after completing The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC, designed for respeccing, has proven effective in resolving the "Requirements Not Met" bug. Refunding your points and reallocating them often resolves the issue.

Path of Exile 2 is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
