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 outlines potential solutions.
What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug?
Players may see the "Requirements Not Met" message even when adjacent nodes are unlocked. While the root cause is debated (bug or hidden mechanic), the priority is resolving the issue to continue skill tree progression.
Troubleshooting the "Requirements Not Met" Bug
Several fixes have been reported by players:
1. 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 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 allocation.
2. Refund and Respec Your Points
A common solution involves refunding skill points. Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC, intended for respeccing, also seems to resolve the "Requirements Not Met" bug for many players. Refunding and reallocating points often fixes the issue.
Path of Exile 2 is currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
