Nearly every item acquired in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for credits. While selling machine parts provides a simple 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 of certain items inefficient. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal credit allocation.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

The most reliable indicator of an item's sellable value is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." This signifies not only a high sale price but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples of items ideally suited for sale include:

• Fish and junk obtained from fishing.
• Jewelry
• Masks
• Animal meat

Many other items, while seemingly inconsequential, function as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's extensive weapon arsenal, prioritizing upgrades over selling valuable resources is crucial for maximizing combat effectiveness.

Fuse Plug-In Chips Combining lower-tier chips creates significantly more efficient higher-tier chips. This process requires numerous identical chips and substantial credits per fusion. Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades, while relatively inexpensive, require additional resources. Prioritizing upgrades streamlines build optimization.
