Path of Exile 2 Early Access: Fixing the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Bug
Early Access games, like Path of Exile 2, often have bugs. One such bug prevents players from using skill points, displaying a frustrating "Requirements Not Met" message even when seemingly eligible. 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 attempting to allocate skill points to unlock passive abilities. This occurs despite having unlocked adjacent nodes and seemingly meeting all requirements. While some debate its nature – bug or hidden mechanic – a fix is crucial for skill tree progression.
Possible 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, different skill point types exist (Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and eventually Ascendancy Points). The "Requirements Not Met" error might appear due to using the wrong point type for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for your point allocation to ensure you have the correct type.
Refunding Skill Points
A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points might be the culprit. The solution? A 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 your points and reallocating them often resolves the issue, resetting point availability. While time-consuming, it's currently the most reliable fix.
Path of Exile 2 is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
