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 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 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 have a sale value, this notation signifies not only a high resale price but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples of items ideally suited for sale include:

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

Many other items, while not immediately obvious, function as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades for your preferred arsenal is crucial, preventing the need for resource farming later.

Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades have relatively low costs, but acquiring the necessary resources can be time-consuming. Prioritizing upgrades streamlines build optimization.
