Path of Exile 2 Early Access: Fixing the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Bug
Early Access games, like Path of Exile 2, inevitably encounter bugs. A current issue for some players is a "Requirements Not Met" error when attempting to allocate skill points. This guide offers solutions.
What's the "Requirements Not Met" Bug?
Players report receiving a "Requirements Not Met" message when allocating skill points to unlock passive abilities, even when adjacent nodes are unlocked. The cause is debated; it might be a genuine bug or an intricate game mechanic. Regardless, resolving this error is crucial for skill tree progression.
Fixes for the "Requirements Not Met" Bug
Several solutions have been reported by players. Let's explore them:
Verify Skill Point Types
Advanced gameplay introduces various 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 for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for your point allocation.
Refunding Skill Points
A potential cause is a discrepancy in Weapon Set passive point availability. The solution involves a respec. Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC, designed for respeccing, also appears to resolve the "Requirements Not Met" bug for some players. Refunding points and reallocating them often fixes the issue. While time-consuming, it's currently the most reliable method.
Path of Exile 2 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
