How to Respec Passive Abilities in Path of Exile 2: A Comprehensive Guide

Similar to its predecessor, Path of Exile 2 features an intricate skill tree that resembles an intricate web. With an overwhelming number of options, it’s easy to feel lost about how to allocate your valuable points. Fortunately, the game provides a way for you to refund your passive ability points and completely redesign your build if you wish. This process does require some time and consideration, so let’s explore how to go about it.

How to Reset Your Skills in Path of Exile 2

Initially, you won’t be able to reset your skills for the first few hours of playing Path of Exile 2, depending on your engagement with side quests and grinding. To unlock this feature as quickly as possible, focus on progressing through the main story arc of Act 1.

Step 1: Complete the quest titled The Mysterious Shade.

Step 2: During this quest, you and Una will be tasked with reviving an NPC known as The Hooded One at the Clearfell Encampment.

Step 3: Once you finish the quest, return to Finn’s tent to talk to The Hooded One and select the Refund Passives option.

Step 4: Respecing your skills will cost you gold, with the fee increasing based on how many points you wish to refund. Fortunately, gold is relatively easy to acquire, so you should not have to worry about running out. As long as you have enough currency, feel free to respec as often as you like.
