If you cast locate artifact (not locate artifact true) on the same
artifact two turns in a row, will you get the same hex location each
time?
Eg: The artifact is at hex 3634. You get a message stating it's
somewhere around hex 3734. When you cast the spell again, will it say
hex 3734 again or is it possible that it will tell you it's around
hex 3733 this time? Thanks for the help Wayne
It certainly doesn't always give you the same hex.
As far as I can tell, it is random. I have used
this technique to narrow down the location of
an artifact. If you are lucky, you get two locations
2 hexes apart and the true location is narrowed to
either one or two places.

Yes, a locate artifact will give you the true location or one of the
hexes surrounding the true location. I usually try to get LAT as soon
as possible, but if you only have LA, cast two times to see if you
can determine the location. As Jeremy says, if they are 2 hexes
apart, you know the location for certain, if not, you can often
narrow it down to a few possible hexes. So send a char as soon as you
have the result of the two LA's, in the right direction if it's far
away, or to one of the possible locations you've found if it's close,
and then cast another LA next turn to increase your chances of
finding the arty (not necessary if you only had two possible
locations though, just move on to the next hex). The hex you get from
a LA seems to be slightly more likely to contain the arty than the
ones surrounding it, but you can't really trust this. Has anyone done
any statistics on this?
