Nearly every item acquired 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 selling them prematurely could hinder progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making some sales unprofitable. This guide highlights the most valuable 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 high value and lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

Many other items, while seemingly expendable, function as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling these materials is recommended to avoid resource farming later in the game.

Best Ways To Spend Money in NieR: Automata

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

Method Explanation Upgrade Plug-In Chip Capacity Increase your plug-in chip storage at the Resistance Camp's Maintenance Shop. This upgrade 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 currency per fusion. Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, but acquiring the necessary resources can be time-consuming. Prioritize upgrades to avoid further delays in optimizing your build.
