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

Early Access games, like Path of Exile 2, are prone to bugs. One such bug prevents players from using skill points, displaying a frustrating "Requirements Not Met" message despite seemingly meeting the requirements. This guide offers solutions to this issue.

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

Players report receiving the "Requirements Not Met" error when attempting to allocate skill points to unlock passive abilities. This occurs even when adjacent nodes are unlocked, creating confusion.

How to Fix the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Bug

Several fixes have been reported by players. Let's explore them:

As you progress, Path of Exile 2 introduces different 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 of your screen for your point allocation to ensure you have the correct type for the desired node.

2. Refunding Skill Points

A common cause seems to be a mismatch in Weapon Set passive points. The solution? A respec. Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC allows skill point refunds. Refunding and reallocating points often resolves the "Requirements Not Met" bug. While time-consuming, it's currently the most reliable fix.

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