I think it depends how valueable.
Artifacts belong in the hands of the rich and famous. If some adventurer picks up the "invisible sword", then as soon as it's become known that he's got it he ain't gonna keep it for long.
+1 swords, if they exist, or say Aldryami Arrows, or jars full of Rhino Fat, will be spread around.
Then everything in between will be somewhat accumulated, somewhat distributed.
