Almost every item collected in NieR: Automata can be sold to vendors for in-game currency. While selling machine parts provides a quick 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 inefficient. This guide highlights the most profitable items to sell and suggests optimal ways to utilize 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." This signifies not only a high sale 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 optimizing your build.
