Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps stand out as some of the most valuable and expensive unique items in Path of Exile 2, significantly enhancing various builds. Known affectionately as HoWA, these coveted gloves occupy the Gloves slot and are notoriously rare, making them a challenging yet rewarding find.

For players aiming to enhance their endgame setup for mapping or bossing, securing a pair of HoWA can be transformative. Here's how you can acquire 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 can drop from defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in the Twisted Domain. Access the Twisted Domain through the Realmgate on the Atlas, which is conveniently located next to the starting point. To find it, simply click the home icon on the Atlas to center your view.

Alternatively, you can acquire HoWA through the Path of Exile 2 official trading website, though be prepared for high costs as even poorly rolled HoWA can fetch multiple divines.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

Securing a Breachstone in PoE 2 can be achieved through two methods:

  • Combining 300 Breach Splinters: These splinters drop from Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While they are relatively common, amassing 300 splinters requires diligent farming of dozens of breaches. Once collected, stack them to create a Breachstone.
  • Using the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones are available via the in-game Currency Exchange. Talk to Alva to place an order. Typically, a Breachstone costs around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices can vary based on market dynamics.

For the ideal Hand of Wisdom and Action, look for at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune Socket slots. Achieving these perfect rolls often requires the use of a Vaal Orb on your HoWA.

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

Unfortunately, you cannot use an Orb of Chance to obtain Hand of Wisdom and Action. This unique item is exclusively dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear in the regular loot table like items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. Thus, attempting to chance it on White Furtive Wraps will not yield HoWA.
