Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for cash. While selling machine parts provides a quick income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them prematurely could hinder your progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making the sale less worthwhile. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal uses for your hard-earned credits.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

The key indicator for sellable items is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." While all items are technically sellable, this designation signifies both high resale value and complete lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

• Fish and junk acquired through fishing.
• Jewelry
• Masks
• Animal meat

Many other items, though seemingly inconsequential, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's vast weapon arsenal, prioritizing upgrades over selling valuable resources is crucial for optimizing your combat effectiveness.

While numerous items can generate income, strategic spending is equally important. Beyond essential combat consumables, prioritize these three areas:

Method Explanation Upgrade Plug-In Chip Capacity Expand your plug-in chip storage at the Resistance Camp's Maintenance Shop. This enhancement benefits all three loadouts, even after death. Fuse Plug-In Chips Combine lower-tier chips to create significantly more efficient higher-tier chips. This process requires numerous identical chips and substantial credits per fusion. Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, but acquiring the necessary resources can be time-consuming. Avoid creating further bottlenecks in your build optimization.
