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 challenging. This guide details 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 Realmgate on the Atlas using a Breachstone.

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

Alternatively, the Path of Exile 2 official trading website offers HoWA, albeit at a high cost, even for less-than-perfect rolls.

Acquiring a Breachstone in PoE 2

Two methods exist for obtaining a Breachstone:

• Combine Breach Splinters: Farming Breach map nodes 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, not part of the regular loot pool (unlike Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln). Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps won't produce it.
