NieR: Automata Optimization Guide: Items to Sell

Quick Links

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

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making selling them a worthwhile endeavor. Conversely, some items are better kept for their utility. Below, we'll highlight the best items to sell and the most effective ways to utilize your hard-earned credits.

Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

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

  • Fish and junk collected during fishing expeditions.
  • Jewelry
  • Masks
  • Animal meat

Many other items, while seemingly expendable, actually serve as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's vast weapon arsenal, prioritizing upgrades over selling valuable resources is crucial for optimizing your combat effectiveness.

Best Ways To Spend Money in NieR: Automata

While selling items generates credits, strategic spending is equally important. Beyond combat consumables, prioritize these three 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 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 not excessively expensive, require additional resources. Efficient credit management ensures a smoother upgrade path.
