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 explains how to obtain these coveted items.

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

The Hand of Wisdom and Action (often called 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 versions command high prices.

How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2

There are two methods for obtaining a Breachstone:

• Combine Breach Splinters: Gather 300 Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While relatively common, collecting 300 requires considerable effort. Combine them into a Breachstone.
• Currency Exchange: Purchase Breachstones (or Splinters) from Alva in the 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. Achieving this requires 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 and isn't part of the regular loot pool (unlike items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln). Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps will not yield HoWA.
