Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the most valuable unique gloves in Path of Exile 2, a game-changer for many builds. Their rarity makes acquiring them a significant challenge. This guide explains how to obtain these coveted gloves.

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

The Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA) is a unique glove dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss. Xesht resides within the Twisted Domain, accessible via a Realmgate on the Atlas using a Breachstone.

The Realmgate is near the Atlas's starting location. Click the home icon on the Atlas to locate it easily.

Alternatively, you can purchase HoWA on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. Be prepared for a significant investment, as even poorly rolled HoWA command high prices.

How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2

There are two methods for acquiring a Breachstone:

  • Combine Breach Splinters: Farm Breach map nodes on the Atlas to collect Breach Splinters. While relatively common, gathering 300 requires considerable farming. Combine 300 splinters to create a Breachstone.
  • Currency Exchange: Purchase Breachstones (or Splinters) from Alva's in-game Currency Exchange. Expect to pay approximately 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices fluctuate.

For optimal HoWA, aim for at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune sockets. Achieving this requires using a Vaal Orb.

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

No. Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique drop from Xesht, not part of the regular loot pool (unlike Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln). Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps will not yield HoWA.
