NieR: Automata - Maximize Your Resources: What to Sell and How to Spend
Almost every item in NieR: Automata can be sold, but selling indiscriminately can be detrimental. This guide clarifies which items are best to sell for quick cash and how to wisely invest your earnings.
Top Items to Sell in NieR: Automata
The key indicator of an item's sellable value is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." This signifies high selling price and lack of other uses. Examples include:
- Fish and junk from fishing
- Jewelry
- Masks
- Animal meat
Many other items serve as upgrade materials for weapons and pods. Given the game's abundance of weapons, prioritize upgrading your favorites rather than hoarding potentially valuable resources.
Smart Spending in NieR: Automata
While selling items generates income, strategic spending is crucial. Beyond consumables, prioritize these three areas:
| Method | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Upgrade Plug-In Chip Capacity | Expand your plug-in chip storage at the Resistance Camp's Maintenance Shop. This upgrade benefits all three loadouts, even after death. |
| Fuse Plug-In Chips | Combine lower-tier chips to create more efficient, higher-tier chips. Note that this process requires numerous identical chips and significant funds. |
| Upgrade Weapons & Pod | Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, preventing resource bottlenecks when optimizing your character build. |
By strategically selling unnecessary items and prioritizing these key upgrades, you can effectively manage your resources and enhance your gameplay experience in NieR: Automata.
