Blog Tag: Poe 2 Hand Of Wisdom And Action

When players come to the endgame in POE 2, they can find lots of good equipment here. These equipment can greatly improve the power of your build. The best equipment is undoubtedly the equipment that the exiles get by defeating the bosses of the four activities in the endgame.

Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps is one of the most valuable unique items in Path of Exile 2. This glove has shown its value in many builds. Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps is called HoWA for short. It is not an easy task to get it. This unique item is very rare. Players who want to get this HoWA will inevitably spend some effort.

Hand Of Wisdom And Action Furtive Wraps

First, let’s take a look at why this glove is powerful. HoWA is a unique equipment. There are certain level requirements and attribute requirements for equipping HoWA. Players need to reach level 52 and have 46 Dexterity and 46 Intelligence.

It can bring direct attribute improvements to players:

• Dexterity increases by 15 to 25
• Intelligence increases by 15 to 25

What makes HoWA very important is its unique effects:

• Every 25 Dexterity increases the player’s attack speed by 3%
• Every 25 Intelligence increases the player’s lightning damage by 1 to 10

It can be seen that this glove allows the player’s character to attack faster and with lightning damage. So what build will use these two points? Generally speaking, Sorceress will need lightning damage, and HoWA can also provide her with intelligence, but she is not the most suitable.

HoWA will be more suitable for the build of the two classes of Monk and Ranger. If these two classes are built with lightning damage as the core, then HoWA is simply the best choice. These two classes are very dependent on attack speed, and all the bonus provided by HoWA are very useful for them. Monk and Ranger are currently the two most powerful classes in POE 2, which may be one of the reasons why HoWA is so popular.

How To Get HoWA?

Hand Of Wisdom And Action Furtive Wraps are boss drops in the endgame. Players need to defeat the boss of Breach activity, Xesht, We That Are One, to have a chance to get this unique glove. Fortunately, Xesht, We That Are One will drop HoWA on the most common difficulty, so you don’t need to play higher difficulties.

Players can encounter this Xesht in Twisted Domain. To enter Twisted Domain, you need to use Breachstone to pass through Realmgate on Atlas.

Of course, players can also exchange HoWA with other players on some official POE 2 websites, but even HoWA with ordinary affixes requires a lot of Divine Orbs, so you have to be mentally prepared before exchanging.

Breachstone

To get HoWA through normal methods, players have to get Breachstone first. There are two ways to get Breachstone:

The first is to kill monsters on Breach. Monsters do have the possibility of dropping Breachstone, but the probability is relatively low. For players, it is more common to get Breach Splinter. As long as the player obtains 300 Breach Splinters and stacks them in the backpack, a Breachstone can be synthesized.

The second way is to go to Currency Exchange. This is the means of exchanging POE 2 Currency in the game. Players can talk to Alva, open Currency Exchange menu, and exchange Breachstones with other players. It usually takes 50-60 POE 2 Exalted Orbs to exchange a Breachstone. The specific amount will fluctuate, and players can wait until they are satisfied before exchanging.

If you already have a Breachstone, but can’t handle the boss, Xesht, We That Are One, you can find some high-level players to help you pass this boss. Of course, this also requires you to use 1 to 2 Divine Orbs.

A perfect Hand of Wisdom and Action can bring players more attack speed bonuses, lightning damage bonuses, and two rune slots. The only way to get it is to corrupt Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps through Vaal Orb. This is a certain risk because the changes of Vaal Orb are completely random. The chance of getting a perfect HoWA upgrade is perhaps only one in six or even lower. Unless you are a player who is extremely pursuing the upper limit of the build, it is not recommended to try.

Orb Of Chance

It needs to be said here that although Orb of Chance can convert ordinary items into unique items, HoWA cannot be obtained through conversion because HoWA is one of the unique drops of Boss. You will not get a HoWA if you use Orb of Chance to convert White Furtive Wrap.

That’s all about Hand of Wisdom and Action Furtive Wraps. This glove is not very versatile, but it can definitely play a big role in the right build. Especially for Lightning Monk players, after obtaining this glove, they will be even more powerful and can output more in a short time. Players who need to use lightning attack and agility amplification can try to integrate this HoWA into your build.
