The Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are highly sought-after unique gloves in Path of Exile 2, significantly boosting various builds. Their rarity makes acquiring them a challenge. This guide outlines how to obtain this coveted item.

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

Defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss, offers a chance to acquire the Hand of Wisdom and Action. Xesht resides within the Twisted Domain, accessible via the Atlas's Realmgate using a Breachstone.

Locate the Realmgate near the Atlas's starting point. Click the home icon on the Atlas for easy identification.

Alternatively, the Path of Exile 2 official trading website offers HoWA, but at a substantial cost, even for lower-quality versions.

Acquiring a Breachstone in PoE 2

Two methods exist for obtaining a Breachstone:

  • Breach Splinter Combination: Farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas yields Breach Splinters. While relatively common, accumulating 300 requires extensive farming. Combine a stack of 300 to create a Breachstone.
  • Currency Exchange: Purchase Breachstones (or Splinters) from Alva's in-game Currency Exchange. Expect to pay approximately 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices fluctuate.

Optimal Hand of Wisdom and Action 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 Orb of Chance Yield Hand of Wisdom and Action?

No. Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique drop from Xesht and not part of the standard loot pool (unlike Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln). Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps won't produce it.
