Best Items To Sell in NieR: Automata

The key indicator for selling an item is the in-game description: "Can be exchanged for money." While all items are technically sellable, this designation signifies high value and a lack of alternative uses. Examples include:

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

Many other items, while not explicitly marked, are crucial upgrade components for weapons and pod systems. Given the game's diverse weapon selection, prioritizing upgrades over selling materials ensures optimal build optimization.
