Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the most coveted and valuable unique items in Path of Exile 2, capable of transforming various builds. Occupying the Gloves slot, the Hand of Wisdom and Action, often abbreviated as HoWA, are exceptionally rare and highly sought after, making them a challenging yet rewarding acquisition.

Players aiming to enhance their endgame build for mapping or bossing will be eager to acquire a pair of HoWA. Here's how you can get your hands on these prized gloves.

How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps in PoE 2

Hand of Wisdom and Action is a Unique Glove that has a chance to drop from Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in Path of Exile 2. To encounter Xesht, you must enter the Twisted Domain, accessible through the Realmgate on the Atlas by using a Breachstone.

The Realmgate is conveniently located near the starting point on the Atlas. Simply click the home icon on the Atlas to zoom in on this location.

Alternatively, HoWA can be purchased on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. However, even the lowest rolled HoWA can command a high price, often requiring multiple divines.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

To obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2, you have two options:

  • Combine 300 Breach Splinters: These splinters drop from Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While they are relatively common, amassing 300 of them involves clearing numerous Breaches. Once you have the required number, stack them to craft a Breachstone.
  • Use the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be bought through the in-game Currency Exchange by speaking with Alva and placing an order. The typical cost for a Breachstone is around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though this price can vary based on market dynamics.

The ideal rolls for a Hand of Wisdom and Action in PoE 2 include at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune Socket slots. Achieving these perfect stats requires using a Vaal Orb on the HoWA.

Can You Use Orb of Chance to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action

Unfortunately, you cannot obtain Hand of Wisdom and Action using an Orb of Chance. HoWA is exclusively a drop from Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear on the regular loot table, unlike items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps will not yield a HoWA.
