Some words of warning here. The fixed items and artifacts should
be used carefylly when added to maps. Because they will be wellknown
itemplaces the player can be fetch the item from. This costs the,
say playeruse, from the other maps.

For example, in the old maps, the wizard tower, where was
fixed speedboots, was one of the must maps when I construct
the character :)

So I think in most cases It's better to use random artifact
mark in the map. ... And generally increase the randomness
in maps.
