Silver key drops off of the Makura crab people; gold key off of the nagas. I found the chest on Ranazjar Isle at 30, 9.

Slitherblade Naga dropped the Rackmore's Golden Key and Drysnap Crawler dropped the Silver one for me.

If the chest is not a radom spawn location, I posted a screenshot of where I found it because it took awhile of clearing the island to discover it behind a tree which is the same location as the first screenshot for this chest.
Chest Location: 30,9 Ranazjar Isle

that second screenshot is entirely helpful as to the treasure's actual location.

This is how it went down for me:

Gold Key: Slitherblade Naga - Sar'Theris Strand - 32,22 - after 1 kill
Silver Key: Drysnap Pincer - Sar'Theris Strand - 32,29 (under water) - after 4 kills
Chest: Ranazjar Isle - 29,8 (exactly)

There is also close to a 100% drop on Fishscales and Fish Oil, witch is good for Shaman's and their waterwalking/underwater breathing.
And the quest-reward, the shield ""Captain Rackmore's Wheel"" looks absolutely rediculous (L)

Just a note to hunters: the drysnap crawlers/pincers are found near the sunken boat, and they are classified as humanoids, not beasts. So if you're trying to use your tracking to find em, use track humanoid and you'll see em :)

All the Naga here have a chance at dropping the key. As long as you are near the island at 32.22 it will drop eventually. Has a pretty good drop rate so should not take long

Also good to do is the short Argent Dawn chain which ends at the island the chest is on with this

This is a pretty simple quest. You can kill the makrura SW of the quest starting spot for the Silver Key, the Naga between the starting spot and the Island for the Gold Key, and then go unlock the chest to finish the quest. The drop rate on the keys is pretty good, it's some nice XP, some nice gold from the reward, and about 1g from vendoring the two items that are also rewarded.

When I was doing this quest (patch 2.4), nothing had changed since SkyMarshall's comment on 06/19/2007 (Patch 2.1.2). So use his marvelous comment, it worked for me.

Took me best part of an hour to get both keys. Make sure you pick up ""Other Fish to Fry"" (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=6143 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=6143) from Shadowprey Village before you start this, you'll complete it while you grind up the golden key.

I did the following quests along with this one:
  • Clam Bait
  • Other Fish to Fry
  • The Corruptor

Silver key from Drysnap Pincer.
Gold key from Slitherblade Myrmidon.

I collected the clam meat near the end, but collected a few pieces while killing stuff for the Other Fish to Fry quest.

Got out of the water just in time because I almost ran into the lvl 40 elite Deepstrider Searcher.
