Introduction
~Glad you guys are enjoying it the guide!~
~If you can't find the specific place you wanted to go, comment about it!~

This guide was created to help ease my new character process. While I'm making this for myself, I figured I might as well make it public so that anyone can use it. If you think using COC is cheating, then please move on and enjoy your game. If you are casual and want to move places in an instant without spending a ton of time walking there for the 15th time, then please continue.

In this guide, I will include anything or any place that I've found tedious to get to more than once. This will include the deadric shrines and various towns.

Note: You are able to break your quests with COC. If you choose to continue, do not complain about a broken master quest. While the cocs that I've included will not break the game, it is still suggested that you do not use them unless it is needed for your quest.

Note 2: Each time I play Skyrim I typically find new places that make me say "I don't want to have to do that again." typically early quest locations before you have a well rounded fast travel map set up. I keep notes of the various places that are important and will add them in one go in the future.

Note 3: Try not to use COCs while indoors. Some places like stores, or playerhomes are fine but there are times where you wont realize that you are breaking a quest. A certain deadric quest is easy to break this way.
What is COC and how do I use it?
COC or "Center on Cell" is a way modders and developers can teleport instantly to a location. It takes no ingame time and can go to places not normally possible without a command. i.e. toddtest. COC is considered a cheat, and as I will say a lot, only use it if you have no problem with that.

To use coc it's as easy as opening console and typing coc <location>
This is the complete vanilla COC location list. If you want, you can stop reading this guide and go straight to the master list.
http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands_(Skyrim)/Locations
If you want a handpicked selection of them that I've found useful and will never break your game, continue.

You will instantly enter a loading screen which may or may not have any loading text or images. (Typically it's blank with fog.)
How do I use this guide?
Each location is sorted depending on the hold it's in. If you are looking for a certain location in a certain hold, use the table to find it faster. If you have no clue what hold it's in, Ctrl-F and search for the name of the location.

Note: It is assumed you know how to use the COC command by this point.
