Path of Exile 2: Guide to Obtaining Hand of Wisdom and Action

The Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the priciest and most sought-after unique items in Path of Exile 2. These gloves, commonly known as HoWA, are highly valued for their potential to transform various endgame builds, making them a coveted asset for players aiming to enhance their mapping or bossing strategies. Securing a pair of HoWA is no small feat, but here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain these game-changing gloves.

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

The Hand of Wisdom and Action, a unique glove, can drop upon defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in Path of Exile 2. You'll encounter Xesht inside the Twisted Domain, accessible via the Realmgate on the Atlas by using a Breachstone. To locate the Realmgate, simply click the home icon on the Atlas to focus the camera on the starting location near where players begin their mapping journey.

Alternatively, you can acquire HoWA through the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. Be prepared, however, as even the least desirable rolls of HoWA can command prices in multiple divines, making this option quite expensive.

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 can be farmed by clearing Breach map nodes on the Atlas. Though Breach Splinters are relatively common, gathering 300 of them requires dedication as it involves clearing numerous Breaches. Once you have the splinters, stack them to create a Breachstone.
• Using the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be bought through the in-game Currency Exchange. Talk to Alva and place an order at the current market price. A Breachstone typically costs around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices may vary based on market fluctuations.

For the perfect rolls on a Hand of Wisdom and Action, you're looking for 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 the HoWA.

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

Unfortunately, you cannot use an Orb of Chance to obtain Hand of Wisdom and Action. HoWA is exclusively dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear in the regular loot table. Unlike items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln, attempting to use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps won't yield HoWA.
