XV event seems to not be added to timers.json

[alyssadev]

I had a brief poke around, my guess would be maybe the news post announcing it isn't in the spot expected, as the event isn't accompanied by a maintenance? The mogtome event shows up though.

Historically they've been very bad at consistently including the times with events on the Lodestone. In fact, historically, the event times were embedded in images on the "special pages" and not in the HTML at all. Because the XV event dates back to this, you can see that its special page has the start and end times as an image with a blur effect. This one actually uses the alt tag though to embed the time in the HTML, so that's an improvement!

Unfortunately the actual Lodestone post about events (e.g., the current Moonfire Faire) doesn't include the dates in the HTML, which is all this scaper looks at. To get the dates, it would have to also crawl to the special site and check that.

So currently events have to be added manually to the web/timers.json file.
