Currently, and only gereally speaking, monsters only carry gold on them until they are dead, at which point the other items are generated. There's been some debate over the accuracy of this, however the reason it is done this way is so that thieve don't go through the dungeons and clean out all the items from mobs, which could certainly be done in a hit-and-run fashion. It also keeps the item count on the shard down a little bit, not that that really matters much here. I'm considering changing the way this works based on reports of inaccuracy, but currently you'll (mostly) only find gold and the occasional special item like a treasure map or rare reagent.

Also some monsters like a balron, lizardmen, orcs, etc do spawn with a weapon that they are using, but that weapon is equipted by them and is therefore not stealable.
