That's not what he asked, he was asking if we can farm mats this run and use them when the next reprint comes with new rewards.

Also, we're 12 months behind DMM now.

actually, yes. i notice i have leftovers from the previous times, even though the trade shop isn't there...

also seems to retain your progress from the first reprint. it did that for the previous ixion/yata event where i had to get one ixid blade and nothing else, but i had ixion from a drop a previous run and could have gotten an extra copy of her

2nd reprints reset the exchange. That is specifically mentioned on the wiki.

Keep in mind, when I say '2nd reprint', I'm not referring to what's coming up next. What's coming up next is a reprint of the 1st reprint. The actual 2nd reprint resets the exchange, significantly lowers the costs of some stuff (especially the eidolon and the original SSR weapon that came with the event), adds 3000 jewels to be exchanged for, adds a 2nd SSR weapon, and introduces the final limit break for the original SSR weapon*. 2nd reprints also come as stand alone events, not paired up with another advent.
Also, the weapons that get final limit breaks? There are 5 of them in the exchange instead of 4. This leads me to assume that final limit breaks do require a copy, on top of everything else. But if anybody who's performed final limit breaks on DMM can confirm or deny the need for a 5th copy, that'd be great.

*after the implementation of Guild Orders. Ixion's 2nd reprint occurred before that, so the Ixion sword doesn't have a final limit break. There's also the usual 4 copies in exchange.

So, I'm curious about whether farming up materials during this 1st reprint-reprint is meaningful to carry stuff over to the 2nd reprint to reduce farming then. Because in addition to whatever you need to farm up for the 2nd copy of the glaive, a copy of the spear (Rahab's 2nd SSR), and the jewels, you'll also need 45 of the silver material and 25 of the gold material for one final limit break of the glaive (plus other stuff).
Oh, and if you managed to acquire 5 copies of the glaive before the 2nd reprint (ie the 4 copies in the exchange + 1 drop, or some other combination), then one can theoretically try to final limit break 2 glaives. Then you'd need 90 silver/50 gold mats.

That's such a shame. The Ixion sword is so damn good too... :<

Err.. no. There's no need to have a 5th copy of the weapon. You only need mats for final limit break. And as such, you don't need to farm an extra drop, either to get 2nd FLB weapon if you did the event before 2nd reprint. And as such, there's no 5th weapon in the exchange shop, either. Otherwise, nice summary.
Oh, P.S.: you also need 5 demonic cores/FLB for these advent weapons.

Oh, awesome. And it means that I misread the exchange table. There's a line for final limit break and the 45 silver/25 gold mats, which I misunderstood as a 5th copy of the weapon. But no, that's just a reminder of part of what's needed for final limit breaking the weapon in question. Thanks.

just want to know whether ranking starts with event 40 or not

But yes, it is extremely likely that the first one isn't until Lust. And there's Gluttony and Pride to go before that.

Well at least this one has event missions. No luck getting the light SSR but got the SR and R.
