Path of Exile 2 Beta: Resolving "Requirements Not Met" Issue

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. A current issue for some players is a "Requirements Not Met" error 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" message when trying to unlock passive abilities, even when adjacent nodes are unlocked. While the root cause is debated (bug or hidden mechanic), a resolution is necessary for skill tree progression.

Solutions for the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Glitch

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

Verify Skill Point Types

Later in the game, multiple skill point types exist (Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and eventually Ascendancy Points). The error might occur if you're using the wrong type of point for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for your point breakdown.

Resetting Skill Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points may be the culprit. 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 this bug. Refunding points and reallocating them often resolves the issue. While time-consuming, it's currently the most reliable method.

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