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

Early Access games often have bugs, and Path of Exile 2 is no exception. A frustrating issue some players encounter is the "Requirements Not Met" message when attempting to allocate skill points. This guide offers solutions to overcome this problem.

What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug?

Players report receiving the "Requirements Not Met" error message even when adjacent nodes are unlocked and they seemingly have enough skill points. While the exact cause is debated (potential hidden mechanic or genuine bug), the priority is resolving the issue to progress.

Solutions to the Skill Point Allocation Problem

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

Verify Skill Point Types

As you advance, 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 indicate using the wrong point type for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for your point allocation breakdown to ensure you're using the correct type.

Respec Your Skill Points

A common solution involves resetting your skill points. Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after completing The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC is designed for respeccing, but it also effectively resolves this bug for many players. Refunding your points and reallocating them often fixes the "Requirements Not Met" issue.

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