Question - Loot generation/detection?

[BlankStare]

I believe loot on NPCs is established when the NPC spawns, not when it dies - correct? We can see visible weapons on many model types and the corpse will have that in the loot list, and some NPCs drop Suchandsuch item 100% of the time.

Is there a way for MQ2 to detect the full NPC inventory (items and coin) or does that break a detection barrier?

it used to be that way. It was changed years ago. Loot is now rolled after the event/mob is beat. You used to be able to give an NPC a no trade item kill it on another player and loot it

That was changed long ago, but you can still give trade-able items to NPCs and have them drop in the loot table.
