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 might inadvertently hinder your progress.

Certain items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making some sales unprofitable. This guide highlights the most valuable items to sell and suggests optimal credit allocation.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

To determine sellable items, look for the "Can be exchanged for money" note in the item description. This indicates high resale value and lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

Many other items, while seemingly inconsequential, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pods. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling valuable resources is crucial.

Best Ways to Spend Money in NieR: Automata

While selling items generates credits, strategic spending is vital. Beyond consumables, prioritize these three areas:

Method Explanation Upgrade Plug-in Chip Capacity Expand 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 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 takes time; avoid further delays by investing in upgrades.
