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 details how to obtain this coveted item.

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 final boss of the Twisted Domain. Access the Twisted Domain via a Breachstone used at the Realmgate on the Atlas. The Realmgate is located near the Atlas's starting point; click the home icon for easy location.

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

How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2

Acquire a Breachstone through two methods:

  • Combine Breach Splinters: Collect 300 Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While relatively common, gathering 300 requires extensive farming. Combine them into 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. 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, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps will not yield HoWA.
