The Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA) Furtive Wraps are highly sought-after unique gloves in Path of Exile 2, prized for their potential to significantly boost various builds. Their rarity makes acquiring them a challenge. This guide details how to obtain this coveted item.
How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps in PoE 2

The Hand of Wisdom and Action is a unique glove dropped by Xesht, We That Are One, the challenging pinnacle Breach boss. Xesht resides within the Twisted Domain, accessible via a 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 reference.
Alternatively, you can purchase HoWA on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. Be prepared for a significant investment, as even poorly rolled HoWA command high prices (multiple divines).
How to Obtain a Breachstone in PoE 2
Acquire a
Breachstone through these methods:
- Combine Breach Splinters: Collect 300
Breach Splinters by farming Breach map nodes on the Atlas. While relatively common, gathering 300 requires considerable effort. Combine them into 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.
For optimal HoWA, aim for at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage per 10 Intelligence, and two rune sockets. This requires using a
Vaal Orb.
Can You Use Orb of Chance to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action?
No. The 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 will not yield HoWA.
