Path of Exile 2: How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA)
Quick Links
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 gloves.
How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps in PoE 2
The Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA) is a unique glove dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss. Xesht resides within the Twisted Domain, accessed via a Realmgate on the Atlas using a Breachstone.
The Realmgate is near the Atlas's starting location. Click the home icon on the Atlas to easily locate it.
Alternatively, you can purchase HoWA on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website, though expect a high price; even poorly rolled pairs cost multiple Divines.
How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2
Acquire a
Breachstone in two ways:
- Combine Breach Splinters: Collect 300
Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While relatively common, gathering 300 requires considerable effort. Combine them into a Breachstone.
- Currency Exchange: Purchase Breachstones (or Splinters) from Alva's in-game Currency Exchange. Expect to pay around 50-60
Exalted Orbs, though prices fluctuate.
Optimal HoWA rolls include 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, not part of the regular loot pool (unlike Astramentis,
Headhunter, or
Polcirkeln). Therefore, you cannot use an
Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps to obtain it.
