== What is Variance? ==
<section begin=Scroll /><pre style="width:auto; overflow:auto">
Formula: 1 - (Low End Damage/Top End Damage) = Variance
</pre><section end=Scroll />
Variance is the difference between top end and low end damage on a melee weapon. Weapons spawn with a top end damage, and the low end is calculated using the variance. One handed melee weapons spawn with one of 5 variances, Two Handed weapons spawn with one of 6 variances. ''See charts below''

== How to decrease variance ==
By decreasing variance, you are increasing the possible low end damage on a weapon. This can be accomplished two ways. [[Granite Salvage]] can be applied to a weapon using the [[Weapon Tinkering]] skill to decrease variance by 20% of the current variance and will count as 1 tinker. Also, the [[Lucky White Rabbit's Foot]] can be applied to do the same, but does not require tinkering, or take up a tinker.

''See [[Armor and Weapon Augmentations#Weapon Augmentation Stacking|Weapon Augmentation Stacking]] for stacking info with other Weapon Augmentations.
