Nearly every item collected in NieR: Automata can be sold to merchants for credits. While selling machine parts provides a quick credit influx, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them prematurely could hinder your progress.

Certain items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making some sales less worthwhile. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal credit expenditure.

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 high value and 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 pod systems. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling crucial materials is recommended to avoid resource farming later.

While numerous items generate credits, strategic spending is paramount. Beyond combat consumables, prioritize these three areas:

Method Explanation Upgrade Plug-in Chip Capacity The Resistance Camp's Maintenance Shop offers increased plug-in chip storage. This upgrade benefits all three loadouts, even after death. 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 other resources. Prioritizing upgrades streamlines build optimization.
