#### Visible Achievement Counters

I would really like to see my progress when working on achievements, I've lost a lot of xp cos my achievements arrived unexpectedly,while my mood was less than perfect! Hugely annoying!
Something somewhere is keeping count of 'how many times' we do something, how else would we get our achievements?
It would be greatly beneficial and appreciated to see these counts!

- I was doing the final hooch achievement and was caught out. I had just been to Hell and got the achievement! You can imagine my disappointment.

- I think it's a fantastic idea! Especially since some of the requirements are numerous and take a while to accumulate. I'd really like a way to see what ballpark I'm in when I'm going after a specific achievement.

- Not that this matters to the general feature being requested, but: the mood modifier doesn't apply to XP gained from achievements or quests.

- Thanks for that info, stoot. I've always wondered about that.

- Could we have access to achievement progress thru the API so 3rd party sites can provide the details to make informed decisions on which achievements are closest to being complete, and could be finished first? I was jumping like crazy all day yesterday but have no clue how close I am to 111,111. It would be nice to know.

- I don't know about visible (the UI is too cluttered as-is), but I do like the idea of making it available through the API.

- API information on this would be awesome, and would allow 3rd party tools to display them. It seems like currently staff have some internal tool for it that could perhaps be made public with certain limitations (such as unreleased achievements).

- I would bet that TS would be reluctant to provide this unconditionally, even through the API.
  What they could do is to add a skill to be able to request achievement counters, and make it expensive to do so (e.g., 200 currants per counter) so that they would not have too many requests to their database.
