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 outlines how to obtain these valuable items.

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 through 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 considerable cost, even for less desirable rolls.

Acquiring a Breachstone 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 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.
