"Path of Exile 2: Guide to Acquiring HoWA"

Authore: GabriellaUpdate:Apr 22,2025

Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are some of the most coveted and expensive unique items in Path of Exile 2, capable of transforming numerous builds. As a unique glove occupying the Gloves slot, the Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA) is renowned for its rarity and value, making it a challenging yet rewarding item to acquire.

For players eager to enhance their endgame setups for mapping or bossing, securing a pair of HoWA is crucial. Let's explore the methods to obtain these highly sought-after gloves.

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

The Hand of Wisdom and Action can drop as a reward for defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss in Path of Exile 2. To encounter Xesht, players must venture into the Twisted Domain, accessible via the Realmgate on the Atlas. This Realmgate is conveniently located next to the starting point on the Atlas, easily found by clicking the home icon to center the camera on this location.

Alternatively, players can acquire HoWA through the official Path of Exile 2 trading website, though be prepared for high costs, as even poorly rolled HoWA can command prices in multiple divines.

How to Get a Breachstone in PoE 2

To access the Twisted Domain, you'll need a Breachstone. Here are two methods to obtain one:

  • Combining Breach Splinters: Gather 300 Breach Splinters, which drop from Breach map nodes on the Atlas. Although common, collecting 300 requires farming multiple Breaches. Once you have enough, stack them to create a Breachstone.
  • Using the Currency Exchange: Purchase Breach Splinters or Breachstones directly from the in-game Currency Exchange by speaking with Alva and placing an order. The current market rate for a Breachstone is around 50-60 Exalted Orbs, subject to fluctuations.

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

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

Unfortunately, no. The Hand of Wisdom and Action 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, you cannot use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps in hopes of obtaining HoWA.
