What Causes the "Requirements Not Met" Bug?
Some players encounter the "Requirements Not Met" error despite having unlocked adjacent nodes and seemingly sufficient skill points. The root cause is debated; it might be a genuine bug or an intricate, undocumented mechanic within Path of Exile 2's skill point system. Regardless, this guide provides solutions to get you back on track.
Solutions for the "Requirements Not Met" Bug
Several fixes have been reported by players. Let's explore them:
Verify Skill Point Types
Resetting Skill Points
Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment. This NPC, unlocked after completing "The Mysterious Shade" quest, allows skill point respeccing. Unexpectedly, this also resolves the "Requirements Not Met" bug for many players. Refunding your points and reallocating them often fixes the issue, resetting point availability. While time-consuming, this is currently the most reliable solution.
