Nearly every item collected in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for currency. While selling machine parts provides a simple income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and accidentally selling a needed item can be detrimental.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making the sale of certain items inefficient. Below, we outline the most profitable items to sell and the optimal ways to utilize your hard-earned credits.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

The key indicator for selling an item is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." While all items are technically sellable, this designation signifies not only a high sale price but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples of items ideal for selling include:

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

Many other items, however, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's vast weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling these materials is crucial to optimize your combat effectiveness. Farming for resources later can prove time-consuming, so conserving valuable upgrade materials is highly recommended.

Best Ways To Spend Money in NieR: Automata

Despite the numerous sellable items, strategic spending is paramount. Beyond consumables, prioritize these three key areas:

Method Explanation Upgrade Plug-In Chip Capacity The Resistance Camp's Maintenance Shop offers upgrades to your plug-in chip storage. This enhancement benefits all three loadouts, even after death. Fuse Plug-In Chips Combining lower-tier chips yields significantly more efficient higher-tier chips. This process requires numerous identical chips and substantial currency per fusion. Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, but acquiring the necessary resources may take time. Prioritizing these upgrades prevents unnecessary delays in build optimization.
