Path of Exile 2 Beta: 'Requirements Not Met' Bug Resolution Guide

Path of Exile 2's Early Access: Troubleshooting the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Bug

Like many Early Access titles, Path of Exile 2 has encountered some initial bugs. A prevalent issue involves the frustrating "Requirements Not Met" message when attempting to allocate skill points. This guide offers solutions to this problem.

What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug in Path of Exile 2?

Players are reporting receiving the "Requirements Not Met" message when allocating skill points, even when adjacent nodes are unlocked. While the root cause is debated (bug or hidden mechanic), resolving the message is key to progression.

Solutions to the "Requirements Not Met" Skill Point Issue

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

Verify Skill Point Types

As the game progresses, various skill point types emerge (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 type allocation.

Resetting Skill Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points appears to be a contributing factor for some. The solution involves a respec. Locate "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). Refunding your skill points and reallocating them often resolves the "Requirements Not Met" bug. While time-consuming, it's currently the most reliable method.

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