Estimated windows, most to least likely.
Stained Mantle has now been gone 383 days — 22 days past its historical average of 361 days; 5 of its 5 Item Shop returns came during Fortnitemares across 5 years, so we center the prediction on the next Fortnitemares window (Oct 28 – Nov 4) instead of spreading it across the year; its seasonal timing repeats year after year, which raises our confidence in the window.
