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 costly. This guide details the best items to sell for maximum profit and the most efficient ways to spend your hard-earned credits.
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 not only high selling price but also complete lack of other uses. Examples include:
- Any fish or junk acquired while fishing.
- Jewelry
- Masks
- Animal meat
Many other items, while seemingly expendable, are actually crucial upgrade materials for weapons and pods. Avoid selling these unless you have a surplus beyond your upgrade needs. The abundance of weapons available means prioritizing upgrades for your favorites.
Smart Spending in NieR: Automata
While selling is important, strategic spending is equally crucial. Beyond consumables, prioritize these three areas:
| Method | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Upgrade Plug-in Chip Capacity | Increase 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 | Combining lower-tier chips creates significantly more efficient higher-tier chips. Be prepared for the substantial cost and quantity needed. |
| Upgrade Weapons & Pods | Weapon and pod upgrades are relatively inexpensive, but gathering the necessary resources can be time-consuming. Avoid unnecessary delays. |
By following these guidelines, you'll optimize your resource management and build the ultimate combat setup in NieR: Automata.
