Path of Exile 2 Bug Fix: Meeting Content Requirements

Path of Exile 2: 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 despite seemingly meeting all requirements. This guide offers solutions.

What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug?

Some players encounter the "Requirements Not Met" error when attempting to allocate skill points to unlock passive abilities. This occurs even when adjacent nodes are unlocked, creating confusion. While the root cause is debated (bug or hidden mechanic), a fix is crucial for skill tree progression.

Solutions to the Skill Point Glitch

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

Verify Skill Point Types

Path of Exile 2 introduces different skill point types as the game progresses: Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and eventually, Ascendancy Points. The "Requirements Not Met" error might appear if you're trying to use the wrong type of point for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen; it displays your point totals for each type.

Resetting Skill Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points is another potential cause. The solution? A complete respec.

Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment. This NPC, unlocked after completing "The Mysterious Shade" quest, allows skill point respecialization. Many players report that refunding and reallocating points through The Hooded One resolves the "Requirements Not Met" bug. It's a time-consuming workaround, but currently, the most reliable fix.

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