Path of Exile 2: Bug Resolution Guide Released

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

Like many Early Access titles, Path of Exile 2 has encountered a few glitches. One frustrating issue for players is the "Requirements Not Met" error message when attempting to allocate skill points. This guide offers solutions to overcome this obstacle.

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

Players often receive the "Requirements Not Met" message when trying to unlock passive skills, even if adjacent nodes are unlocked. The root cause is debated; it might be a genuine bug or an intricate game mechanic. Regardless, resolving this issue 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 the most effective ones:

Verify Skill Point Types

As you progress, Path of Exile 2 introduces various skill point types: Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and eventually, Ascendancy Points. The "Requirements Not Met" error might arise from attempting to use the wrong point type. Check the top-right corner of your screen for your point allocation; ensure you have the correct type for the desired node.

Respec Your Skill Points

A common cause seems to be inconsistencies in Weapon Set passive points. The solution? A complete respec.

Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC is designed for respeccing, but it's also proven effective in resolving the "Requirements Not Met" bug. Refunding your skill points and reallocating them often fixes the problem. While time-consuming, this is currently the most reliable method.

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