Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the most coveted and expensive unique items in Path of Exile 2, capable of transforming various builds. These gloves, often abbreviated as HoWA, are highly sought after due to their rarity and powerful effects. For players aiming to enhance their endgame builds for mapping or bossing, securing a pair of HoWA is a significant goal. Here's how you can obtain them.
How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps in PoE 2
The Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique glove that can drop from defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in Path of Exile 2. Xesht can be encountered in the Twisted Domain, accessible through the Realmgate on the Atlas by using a Breachstone. The Realmgate is conveniently located near the starting point on the Atlas, which you can easily find by clicking the home icon to focus the camera on this location.
Alternatively, HoWA can be purchased on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. However, be prepared for a high cost, as even the lowest rolled HoWA can fetch multiple divines.
How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2
There are two primary methods to obtain a Breachstone in Path of Exile 2:
- Combining 300 Breach Splinters: Breach Splinters are obtained by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While they are relatively common, amassing 300 splinters requires clearing numerous Breaches. Once you have the required amount, stack them together to create a Breachstone.
- Using the Currency Exchange: Both Breach Splinters and Breachstones can be bought through the in-game Currency Exchange by speaking with Alva and placing an order. The typical cost for a Breachstone is around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices may vary based on market conditions.
The ideal rolls for a Hand of Wisdom and Action in PoE 2 include at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune Socket slots. Achieving these perfect rolls requires using a Vaal Orb on a HoWA.
Can You Use Orb of Chance to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action
No, you cannot use an Orb of Chance to obtain Hand of Wisdom and Action. HoWA is a limited drop from Xesht, We That Are One, and does not appear on the regular loot table like items such as Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps will not yield a HoWA.
