Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the most coveted and expensive unique items in Path of Exile 2, significantly enhancing various endgame builds. Known affectionately as HoWA, these gloves occupy the Gloves slot and are incredibly rare, making them highly sought after by players aiming to perfect their setups for mapping or bossing. Here’s how you can acquire a pair.

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

Hand of Wisdom and Action can drop from defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss found in the Twisted Domain. Access this domain through the Realmgate on the Atlas, which is conveniently located near the starting point. Just click on the home icon on the Atlas to zoom in on this 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 HoWA gloves can command multiple divines.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

To obtain a Breachstone, you have two options:

• Combine 300 Breach Splinters: These splinters drop from Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While they are relatively common, accumulating 300 requires farming numerous Breaches. Once you have enough, combine them into a single stack to craft a Breachstone.
• Use the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be bought via the in-game Currency Exchange. Speak to Alva and place an order at the current market rate, which typically hovers around 50-60 Exalted Orbs for a Breachstone, though prices can vary.

For the ideal Hand of Wisdom and Action in PoE 2, aim for at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage Per 10 Intelligence, and two rune Socket slots. Achieving these perfect rolls may require using a Vaal Orb on your HoWA.

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

No, an Orb of Chance won't help you here. Hand of Wisdom and Action only drops from Xesht, We That Are One, and is not included in the regular loot table like items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. Therefore, attempting to use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps won't yield HoWA.
