Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the most sought-after and valuable unique items in Path of Exile 2, capable of transforming various builds. These gloves, often shortened to HoWA, are exceptionally rare and highly prized, making them a challenging acquisition for players.

For those aiming to enhance their endgame build for mapping or bossing, securing a pair of HoWA is crucial. Here's a detailed guide on how to obtain them.

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

Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique glove that can drop from defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in Path of Exile 2. To encounter Xesht, players must enter the Twisted Domain, accessible via the Realmgate on the Atlas by using a Breachstone.

The Realmgate is conveniently located next to the starting point on the Atlas, where players begin their mapping journey. To locate it easily, click on the home icon on the Atlas to focus the camera on this starting area.

Alternatively, HoWA can be purchased on the official Path of Exile 2 trading website. However, even the least desirable versions of HoWA can command prices in the range of multiple divines, making this option quite expensive.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

There are two primary methods to obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2:

• Combining Breach Splinters: You can gather 300 Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. These splinters drop relatively frequently, but amassing 300 of them requires clearing numerous Breaches. Once you have the required amount, stack them together to craft a Breachstone.
• Using the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be bought through the in-game Currency Exchange by talking to Alva and setting an order at the current market rate. Typically, a Breachstone costs around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices may vary based on market fluctuations.

The ideal stats 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 rolls requires using a Vaal Orb on a HoWA.

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

No, you cannot use an Orb of Chance to obtain Hand of Wisdom and Action. HoWA is a unique drop exclusively from Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear on the regular loot table, unlike items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. Therefore, attempting to use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps will not yield a HoWA.
