Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps are among the priciest and most valuable uniques in Path of Exile 2, which can be a gamechanger for many different builds. Occupying the Gloves slot, the Hand of Wisdom and Action, colloquially referred to as HoWA, are as rare as they are coveted, and finding one is no easy ask.

Players looking to get a pair to complete their endgame build for mapping or bossing will want to know where to get their hands on a decent pair of HoWA of their own. Here’s how.

The Ingenuity Utility Belt is an S-tier endgame unique that can only be obtained by defeating a pinnacle boss in Path of Exile 2. Here's how to get it

Hand of Wisdom and Action is a Unique Glove that is a possible drop for defeating Xesht, We That Are One, the endgame pinnacle Breach boss. Xesht can be encountered inside the Twisted Domain, which can be accessed via the Realmgate on the Atlas by using a Breachstone.

The Realmgate can be found right next to the starting location on the Atlas, where players begin their mapping journey. Click on the home icon on the Atlas to focus the camera on this location.

HoWA can also be obtained on the Path of Exile 2 official trading website, though this can be very expensive as even the worst rolled HoWA can go for multiple divines.

There are two ways of obtaining a Breachstone in PoE 2:

The perfect rolls for a Hand of Wisdom and Action in PoE 2 are at least 4% Attack Speed per 25 Dexterity, 1-12 Lightning Damage Per 10 Intelligence and two rune Socket slots. This result can only be achieved if a Vaal Orb is used on a HoWA.

No, you cannot. Hand of Wisdom and Action is a limited drop from Xesht, We That Are One, and is not part of the regular loot table, unlike Astramentis, Headhunter, or Polcirkeln. This means you cannot use an Orb of Chance on White Furtive Wraps to take a gamble on possibly acquiring it.

Success!
