Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among Path of Exile 2's most valuable unique items, significantly boosting many builds. These coveted gloves, often called HoWA, are exceptionally rare. This guide explains how to acquire them.

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

The Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique glove dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in the Twisted Domain. Access the Twisted Domain via the Realmgate on the Atlas using a Breachstone. The Realmgate is near the Atlas's starting location; click the home icon to locate it.

Alternatively, you can purchase HoWA on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website, though expect a high price, even for poorly rolled versions.

How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2

Acquire a Breachstone in two ways:

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

Optimal HoWA rolls include at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune sockets. Achieve this through 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, you cannot use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps to obtain it.
