What to Do with Excess Pins?

This is a guide on what to do with excess Pins in NEO: The World Ends with You (NEO TWEWY). Read on to find out if you should level up multiple copies of the same pin and if you should sell them at shops!

What to Do with Excess Pins?

Sell Them at Threads Shops

The most useful thing to do with excess Pins is to sell them for money. Since you are likely to obtain a high amount of excess Pins and highly unlikely to use more than a couple copies of the same Pin in combat, sell these extra copies for large amounts of money.

How to Farm Money Efficiently

Level Them Up First

Pin No. 163 Price Level
Base Level	Max Level

Level up excess Pins the same way as normal pins—by using them in battle. Note that higher level pins do sell for higher prices, so consider leveling up your excess Pins. However, you would have to level up each excess Pin individually, which would be time consuming.

Use as Trade Materials

Some pins can be traded for Threads or other pins at Shops. Below is the list of Pins that are used as Trade Materials at certain shops, so make sure to keep a stock of these pins.

Jungle King (No. 046)	Blizzard Bunny (No. 063)	Don't Miss Your Shot (No. 116)	Fuel to the Fire (No. 120)
Azamaru (No. 165)	Taikokane (No. 185)	Flyin' High (No. 270)	Puffer (No. 298)
Scarletite (No. 323)	Rare Metal (No. 324)	Tektite (No. 325)	Adamantite (No. 326)
Orichalcum (No. 327)	Shadow Matter (No. 328)	Dark Matter (No. 329)	Axion (No. 330)
Dilaton (No. 331)	Dibaryon (No. 332)	Sfermion (No. 333)	-

No Need to Keep Mastered Pins for Collection

Once you max a Pin's level once, it will be recorded as Mastered (★) in the Records menu permanently. There's no need to keep it in your inventory. Simiarly, once you evolve a Pin, it will automatically record the base Pin as Mastered as well, so there's no need to keep Pins unevolved for the purposes of 100% completion.

Should You Evolve Pins?

How to Get Excess Pins

Multiple Copies of Same Pin

Excess Pins are multiple copies of the same Pin. You are likely to stack up a large quantity of excess Pins in your playthrough, as each enemy has a set type of Pin that they drop, so repeatedly defeating the same type of enemy will give you copies of the same Pin as a reward.
