Path of Exile 2: How to Get Hand of Wisdom and Action (HoWA) Furtive Wraps

The Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps (HoWA) are one of the most prized and expensive unique gloves in Path of Exile 2. They offer powerful mods that can significantly enhance various builds, especially for endgame mapping and boss fights. Here's everything you need to know about acquiring these valuable gloves:

 

1. Defeat Xesht, We That Are One

The Hand of Wisdom and Action is a potential drop from Xesht, We That Are One, the pinnacle Breach boss found in the Twisted Domain. To encounter Xesht, you will need to use a Breachstone to access the Twisted Domain.

 

Xesht is a high-level challenge, so be prepared for a difficult fight.

Twisted Domain can be accessed through the Realmgate on the Atlas.

 

2. How to Get a Breachstone

There are two methods to obtain a Breachstone, which are required to fight Xesht in the Twisted Domain:

 

a) Breach Splinters:

You can farm Breach Splinters by clearing Breach map nodes across the Atlas.

Breach Splinters are relatively common, but you'll need 300 Breach Splinters to create a Breachstone. This means clearing numerous Breaches.

Once you have 300 Breach Splinters, combine them to craft a Breachstone and use it to access the Twisted Domain.

 

b) Currency Exchange:

You can also purchase Breachstones directly from the in-game Currency Exchange by talking to Alva.

The price of a Breachstone typically ranges from 50-60 Exalted Orbs, though prices can fluctuate based on market demand.

 

3. Trading for HoWA

If you're not up for the challenge of farming or battling Xesht, Hand of Wisdom and Action can be found on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website. However, buying HoWA on the marketplace can be quite costly, with even the lowest rolled pair often fetching multiple Divines.

 

4. Can You Use Orb of Chance?

Unfortunately, you cannot use an Orb of Chance to get Hand of Wisdom and Action. Unlike other unique Path of Exile 2 items like Astramentis or Headhunter, HoWA is a limited drop from Xesht and does not appear in regular loot tables. This means you won't be able to gamble for it using an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps.

 

Summary

To get your hands on a Hand of Wisdom and Action, you will need to defeat Xesht, We That Are One in the Twisted Domain using a Breachstone, which can either be crafted through farming or bought from the Currency Exchange. Alternatively, you can purchase the gloves through the official trading website, though be prepared for the high costs involved.

 

If you're looking for PoE 2 currency or PoE 2 items like Breachstones, Exalted Orbs, or Divines, you can consider trading through the game's PoE currency exchange or official marketplace.
