Cannot equip weapon

Hi GGG Team,

I’m experiencing an issue in Path of Exile 2 where I am unable to equip new weapons despite meeting all the requirements. Here's the situation:

Class: Warrior Titan
Level: 21
Strength: 87
Weapon Attempted to Equip: Miracle Ram Studded Greatclub
Requirements: Level 18, 38 Strength
Current Weapon: Level 6 Mace

Observations:

The weapon I’m trying to equip is corrupted, but corruption should not prevent equipping the item.
I exceed the weapon’s requirements (both level and Strength).
I’ve tried unequipping my current gear and swapping other weapons, but nothing works.
I’ve also tested other weapons with similar requirements, and they won’t equip either.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Ensured I meet the weapon’s level and stat requirements.
Unequipped all other gear to check for interference.
Logged out and restarted the game to reset potential state issues.
Attempted to equip other weapons, but the issue persist

The requirements displayed on an item can only be changed by modifiers on the item itself. Anything else that would change the item's requirements won't change what the tooltip displays, aside from telling you that you "don't meet the requirements" if you don't meet the changed requirements.

You likely allocated the keystone passive Giant's Blood. This passive lets you wield two-handed swords/axes/maces with one hand, but it triples all attribute requirements for weapons. Since this won't be displayed on the weapon, you'll have to do the math yourself to know how much str/dex/int you need to equip weapons with Giant's Blood allocated.

38 * 3 = 114, so you would need another 27 Strength to equip this weapon.
