Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps stand out as some of the most coveted and valuable unique items in Path of Exile 2. Known affectionately as HoWA, these gloves can significantly enhance various endgame builds, making them a prized possession for any player. Given their rarity and the impact they can have on gameplay, acquiring a pair of HoWA is no small feat.

For players aiming to bolster their endgame builds for mapping or bossing, securing a quality pair of HoWA is essential. Let's explore how you can get your hands on these game-changing gloves.

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

To obtain the Hand of Wisdom and Action, you'll need to defeat Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in Path of Exile 2. Xesht can be found within the Twisted Domain, accessible through the Realmgate on the Atlas. You'll need a Breachstone to enter this domain, which can be found right next to the starting location on the Atlas. Simply click the home icon to locate it easily.

Alternatively, HoWA can be purchased from the Path of Exile 2 official trading website, though be prepared for a hefty price tag—even the lowest rolled HoWA can fetch multiple divines.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

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

• Combining 300 Breach Splinters: These can be farmed from Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While they drop relatively frequently, amassing 300 splinters will require clearing numerous Breaches. Once you have enough, stack them together to form a Breachstone.
• Using the Currency Exchange: You can purchase both Breach Splinters and Breachstones from the in-game Currency Exchange by negotiating with Alva. The current market rate for a Breachstone hovers around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though this can vary.

For the ultimate Hand of Wisdom and Action, aim for gloves with at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune Socket slots. Achieving these perfect rolls may require the use of a Vaal Orb.

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

Unfortunately, no. The Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique drop from Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear on the regular loot table like Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. Therefore, attempting to use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps won't yield a HoWA.
