Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the most coveted and expensive unique items in Path of Exile 2, significantly enhancing various builds. These gloves, often abbreviated as HoWA, are exceptionally rare and highly sought after, making them a challenging acquisition for players.

For those aiming to integrate HoWA into their endgame setup for mapping or bossing, understanding how to obtain them is crucial. Here's a detailed guide on securing your own pair of HoWA.

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. Xesht is encountered within 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, where players begin their mapping journey. To locate it easily, click on the home icon on the Atlas to focus the camera on this area.

Alternatively, HoWA can be purchased from the Path of Exile 2 official trading website, though this option can be quite costly. Even the least desirable versions of HoWA can fetch multiple divines.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

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

• Combining Breach Splinters: Collect 300 Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. These splinters are relatively common, but amassing 300 of them requires clearing numerous Breaches. Once you have the required amount, stack them to create a Breachstone.
• Using the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be acquired 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 prices may vary based on market conditions.

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 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 limited drop exclusive to defeating 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 HoWA.
