The gallery clearly displays all relevant images, and does not force the user to scroll through to find the one that he/she/it wants to see. The gallery also adds a lot more content to the page, and makes them seem larger. This is important due to the wiki having many armor pages with minimal content; it is important for our pages to seem properly filled with information. The gallery has worked on the Knights & Dragons Wiki for a long time and there is a reason we have not chosen to use slideshows.

The slideshow is more of a novelty item, and does not provide much practical use. Yes, they are more organized, but they look very out of place on the page, and does not make the wiki seem like a more content-packed site. Also, another disadvantage is that you cannot easily see the relevant picture. For example, on the gallery option I can easily find the Armor of Glacius - Male Evolution 2 and I know that the picture exists on the page. Slideshows I have no idea if the picture is even on the website without first scrolling through each and every individual picture. The slideshow also looks very much like it doesn't belong, and makes the How to Obtain section appear linked to the slideshow as if it was directly relevant to it.

I strongly vote for option 1, and I would encourage you to do so as well.
