Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps, often referred to as HoWA, are some of the most sought-after and expensive unique items in Path of Exile 2. These gloves can significantly enhance a variety of builds, making them a prized possession for players aiming to optimize their endgame setup for mapping or tackling bosses.
How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps in PoE 2
The 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 game. To encounter Xesht, players must enter the Twisted Domain, accessible through the Realmgate on the Atlas, which can be activated using a Breachstone. The Realmgate is conveniently located near the starting point on the Atlas, marked by a home icon that you can click to focus the camera on this area.
Alternatively, HoWA can be purchased on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. However, even the lowest rolled versions of these gloves can command prices in the range of multiple divines due to their rarity and value.
How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2
There are two primary methods to obtain a
Breachstone in Path of Exile 2:
- Combine 300
Breach Splinters: These splinters drop from Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While they are relatively common, amassing 300 of them requires clearing numerous Breaches. Once collected, stack them to craft a Breachstone.
- Use the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be bought through the in-game Currency Exchange by speaking with Alva and setting an appropriate price. Typically, a Breachstone costs around 50-60
Exalted Orbs, though prices can vary based on market dynamics.
For the perfect rolls on a Hand of Wisdom and Action, you'll want at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune socket slots. Achieving these stats requires the use of a Vaal Orb on a HoWA.
Can You Use Orb of Chance to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action
Unfortunately, no. The Hand of Wisdom and Action is exclusively a drop from Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear on the regular loot table. This means you cannot use an
Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps to try and obtain it, unlike items such as Astramentis,
Headhunter, or
Polcirkeln.
