I exchanged some ADs to Zen to buy the 5 Legedary Dragon Key pack so I could open the second chest in Shores of Tuern. They do work, so that isn't the issue. The issue is that when I open the chest the contents only show an ident scroll, silver, and a rank 4 draconic enchant. I haven't taken the contents yet because who would use up a key on that, right? This has happened for at least 10 times now and was wondering if the chest will ever show anything good or do I need to take the items as the good stuff is hidden from view? I need that Haar's Trestise on Dragonkind, man. 100 sigils? Grrrrrriiiiiind.
Think of the second chest as just an extra roll on loot. As far as I can tell it usually has the exact same stuff in it as the free chest. MAYBE.... I could be mistaken. I did get an artifact belt out of the key chest and I've not heard of anyone saying they've gotten one of those from the normal chest (normal shores, hadn't fluffed my GS to 13k yet at that time)

I received a Waters of Elah'zad from the normal free chest (not the extra one). As far as I can tell they both have a chance of containing useful stuff, so always take your free chest and always check the extra, using your key when it actually contains something you want.
I so far have gotten all my good stuff (dragon Gem, Books, etc) from the free chest. The chest that requires the key has very rarely dropped anything. Why would you have a special chest with so random drops but also mirrors the free chest for loot. Thank God I don't have to use my key and can back out but I'm getting ready to stop doing the Shores because the key chest has become quite a disappointment. If the chest is that special it should be different than the free chest to begin with, not an exact duplicate.
I can confirm that the second chest that requires a special key does not "mirror" nor is it a duplicate of the free chest. I just think the two chests roll off of the same or at least a similar loot table. You can pull Dragon gear, Infernal gear, Artifact assets pieces (maybe just the gem?), Artifact belts, Treatise's, a few unique Rings and I think that's it besides the low impact stuff like scrolls, glyphs, dragon enchants.
Honestly, when crafting or purchasing the keys if you inspect them they indicate all of the possible rewards from those chests. The scroll with dragon enchant is likely just the most common combination so that's why it seems to come up a lot.
Put it this way, I bought 5 keys when I first unlocked shores and lost mauth, I've had them unlocked for at least 2 and a half weeks. I play every night and farm each around 4 or 5 times... That being said, I've only used 2 keys. I've never gotten an artifact, belt, or even the book for the 2nd boon.
Things are extremely rare..

Well I must be the unluckiest player ever, I've done the shores more times than I care to remember and only even got one Dragon Gem! As for the Dragon bones well I think the dogs ate them as I've killed zillions of dragons and only ever got one! This means after 2 months or so of playing I've only managed to use the artifact weapon chest in campaigns once! I think I'll buy one key and just keep checking the second chest in hope of getting something good!
By now dragon gems and bones are worth 20k to 30k each on the TTH ... it can be a good investment because 50k + the dragon steel (forgot price), is not a big deal considering that the artifact weapon is BIS at the moment (some people still prefer the ancient set for its bonus by the way)

For dragon bones, maybe you already know that, but it only drops in Rothe Valley and Whispering Caverns !

Got an artifact belt of dexterity on my second locked chest, and then nothing for about 20 runs ...
May the RNGforce be with you.
