Path of Exile 2: Bug Fix Solution Unveiled

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 the frustrating "Requirements Not Met" message when attempting to allocate skill points. This guide offers solutions.

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

Players report receiving the "Requirements Not Met" error even when adjacent nodes are unlocked and skill points appear available. The root cause remains unclear; it might be a genuine bug or an intricate, undocumented mechanic within Path of Exile 2's skill point system. 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 them:

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 indicate using the wrong point type for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for your point allocation details.

Respec Your Skill Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points seems to trigger this issue for some. The solution? A complete respec.

Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC, designed for respeccing, has become an unintended fix for the "Requirements Not Met" bug. Refunding your points and reallocating them often resolves the problem, resetting point availability. While time-consuming, this is currently the most reliable fix.

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