The Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are exceptionally valuable and rare unique gloves in Path of Exile 2, significantly impacting various builds. Their rarity makes acquiring them a challenge. 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 to center the camera on this location.

Alternatively, the Path of Exile 2 official trading website offers HoWA, but at a substantial cost; even poorly rolled pairs command multiple Divine Orbs.

Acquiring Breachstones in PoE 2

Two methods exist for obtaining a Breachstone:

  • Combine Breach Splinters: Farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas yields Breach Splinters. While relatively common, accumulating 300 requires extensive farming. Combine 300 splinters 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 per Breachstone, 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 table (unlike Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln). Therefore, using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps won't yield this item.
