Shores of Tuern/Lair of Lostmauth: Which to unlock first?

Title says it all. I'm at the point where I can either wait until tomorrow to get enough sigils to unlock Lair, or go ahead and unlock Shores. Is there any reason to unlock one before the other? Does one contain better/more loot? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Well you need an item from Shores to get your 4th boon. Not sure which is better though.

    Shores is best to do first. The reason is that you can already do your dungeon daily, but cannot do the skirmish. Shores will allow you to do that and earn an extra 3000AD. Also, I would suggest making one key before unlocking LOL. Once you have a key, you can look in the extra chest. If you don't like what is in it, back out and the key will not be consumed. Use it again for as many runs as it takes to get something you like. Personally, I try to keep 2 keys in inventory. If I end up using one, I can still keep looking.

    Not sure as I'm not there myself, but I think Shores of Tuern is just quicker to run.

    How do you make a key before you unlock it? I thought you had to unlock it first. It doesn't even give me the option if it's unlocked.

    Make the key for Shores before you unlock LOL, not the key for LOL. Unlock shores (day 1), make key for Shores and first day running Shores (day2), Do dragon dailies for days 3,4,5,6 unlock LOL.

    You do it first because it needs sigils. LOL needs 20, if you get your 5 (6 if Whispering caverns is common cause) per day it would still waste 4 days (First day you won't have key anyway) with no chance for extra loot from the skirmish. You will only delay unlocking LOL by one day, two if you make 2 keys. It would have the unlock task on day 7 instead of day 6 (1 wasted day). So, more potential profit if you do as I suggested.

    Can't you get like 5 Dragon Keys for 200 Zen or something like that to unlock the chests without having to make them via campaign tasks? I swear I did the math a few days ago and it turned out to be cheaper, but I can't remember and I'm not able to get on right now to check. Anyone able to confirm?

    300 Zen for 5 and I completely forgot about them since on the PC it is cheaper to make them. By the math, as long as the AD/Zen ratio stays below 166/1 it is cheaper the get with Zen based on AD alone not including sigils, gold etc.
