Fixing the "Requirements Not Met" Bug in Path of Exile 2

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

Verify Skill Point Types

Path of Exile 2 introduces various skill point types (Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and later Ascendancy Points). The "Requirements Not Met" error might appear if you're using the wrong type of point for a specific node. Check the top-right corner of your screen for your point breakdown to ensure you have the correct type.

Respec Your Skill Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points may be the culprit. The solution involves a respec. Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after "The Mysterious Shade" quest). This NPC, designed for respeccing, has become an effective workaround for this bug. Refunding your skill points and reallocating them often resolves the issue.

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