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 prematurely could hinder progress.

Some items fetch significantly higher prices than others, making the sale of certain items inefficient. This guide highlights the most profitable 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 not only high resale value but also a lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

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