Aren't the developer blog, livestreams and guide, if not the RS Wiki tell them the benefits already?

Likewise, if they don't know how the blueprint table and the new construction process work, what then?
*Sigh* I guess I have to spell it out for you, although I shouldn't be surprised by that.

Players need a quick, easy and obvious method of identifying things like this in game .

What you suggest may be quick and easy, but it is not obvious.

Similarly, checking the achievements tab is not obvious, yet neither is it too quick either.

How hard is something to become obvious after one learned the fact such as a T3 Chapel allows us to swap prayer book? Once we learned it once, we learned it for life until further game update on it.

I am just bringing up facts and suggestions to help everybody on the forums. Perhaps if you don't find it helpful, thank you for your comment then. I am just glad other players found my suggestions helpful and solved their problems. :)

The simplest solution would be to have the ones you've already done "greyed out" so they look different to the ones you haven't done yet.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

The problem with this is that Jagex have designed this to be an alternative training method, so greying them out may confuse players thinking they cannot rebuild any stages already built.

I think the word
(COMPLETED)
in brackets next to stages you have already done would be the best option.

Yep that would be a good solution.

I think this is typical. Jagex actually makes a way for us to get the information, but it's barely noticeable. I'm guessing most players came up with their own method of keeping track.

Even when they change the shade to 'grey out' it's hardly noticeable. Kerapac time warp is a fine example. I need the audio cue to even know if I clicked it.

Even in the bank tabs, people sometimes get stuck withdrawing to the worn equipment tab. If the tab marker was shaded better they could figure it out. I've been there, and it happened more than once! But eventually I learned.

Trying to find the slot to deposit items in POH storage is no better.

I went to achievements, I can't see 'progress' telling me which tiers I have achieved. Must be missing something.
Even a message, 'completed' or 'are you sure you want to repeat' would really really help

Yep. This is annoying. I've resorted to comparing my build with the pictures of each tier shown in the wiki, since each tier has a slightly different appearance.

A "completed" note would be good ... or even just a simple green check mark where the "locked" icon is typically displayed for unavailable blueprints.

I had similar issues as in the original post. I almost unintentionally built the same building as Tier 3 more than once because their status isn't made clear, and Tier 3 can be repeated for exp. I had to look carefully at the graphics, check with Aster to see how much rested experience capacity I had, and pull up the "A Fort of My Own" achievement to see which buildings were still T2 and which I'd already raised to T3. It would be great if Jagex could add something to make this more clear. :)
