The Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA) Furtive Wraps are highly sought-after unique gloves in Path of Exile 2, prized for their game-changing potential in various builds. Their rarity makes acquiring them a significant challenge. This guide outlines 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 is a unique glove dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss encountered within the Twisted Domain. Access the Twisted Domain via the Realmgate on the Atlas using a Breachstone. The Realmgate is conveniently located near the Atlas's starting point; click the home icon for easy location.

Alternatively, you can purchase HoWA on the official Path of Exile 2 trading website. Be prepared for a hefty price tag, as even poorly rolled versions command multiple Divines.

How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2

Acquire a Breachstone through one of two methods:

• Combine Breach Splinters: Collect 300 Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While relatively common, gathering 300 requires significant Breach clearing. Combine them into a single stack to create a Breachstone.
• Currency Exchange: Purchase Breachstones (or Splinters) from Alva via the in-game Currency Exchange. Expect to pay approximately 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices fluctuate based on market conditions.

For optimal HoWA, aim for at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune socket slots. Achieve these perfect rolls by using a Vaal Orb.

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

No. The Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique drop from Xesht, not 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.
