I've been working on completing the 'own 100 unique rank specials' achievement, both by creating and purchasing rank specials.
However, the ones I've purchased, despite being rank specials I didn't already have, aren't increasing the number on my achievements page.
So my question is: do purchased rank specials count toward that achievement, or does that achievement only count the rank specials created by my account?

Own 100 Unique Rank Specials instructions: Own one hundred different foundation horses created using one hundred unique rank special herd helpers.

Edit: as a side note, the rank specials I've purchased have been in my barn for at least one full week now.
