Nearly every item collected in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for in-game currency. While selling machine parts provides a simple income stream, many items serve additional purposes, and selling them prematurely could hinder your progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making the sale of certain items less worthwhile than others. 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 whether an item should be sold is the presence of the "Can be exchanged for money" note in its description. While all items are technically sellable, this note signifies high value and lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

Many other items, however, serve as upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's abundance of weapons, prioritizing upgrades for your preferred equipment is crucial. Avoid selling potential upgrade materials to prevent future resource farming.

Upgrade Weapons & Pod Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, but acquiring the necessary resources can be time-consuming.
