Expected return window

Expected: Oct 28 – Nov 4

Nightmare Carver typically returns about every 194 days, and it has been gone 89; 2 of its 5 Item Shop returns came during Fortnitemares across 2 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.
