As you progress, *Path of Exile 2* introduces different skill point types (Skill Points, Weapon Set I, Weapon Set II, and later Ascendancy Points). The "Requirements Not Met" message might appear if you're trying to use the wrong type of point for a specific node. Check the top-right of your screen for a breakdown of your available point types.

Refund Your Points

A mismatch in Weapon Set passive points might be the culprit. The solution? A respec! Visit "The Hooded One" in Clearfell Encampment (unlocked after The Mysterious Shade quest). This NPC, designed for respeccing, has unexpectedly become a key fix for this bug. Refunding your points and reallocating them often resolves the issue, resetting your available points and allowing proper allocation.
