The way I do it:
Railcart liquid loader and unloaders, pump, mystcraft portals set the unloader to hold until empty and watch it fill your tank
works like a charm but requires you find a crystal age

works like a charm but requires you find a crystal ageA pump in the nether works great for getting tons of lava. To get the lava back either use Mystcraft portals with Railcraft liquid tank cars or a Thermal Expansion's liquid transposer loaded with tin cans and pumping the full cans into an Enderchest.
Or spawn in a Notebook using creative mode. This is actually the recommended method from the dev as Crystals are really rare, and it's currently a huge hog to create over 100 ages trying to get specific symbols. In fact, with Extrabiomes I wouldn't be at all surprised if it ends up in the 200s to get everything.
I got both crystal age, and dense ores within 40 ages... maybe I was lucky. Now I'm just trying to find out how to exploit Pandara!

You got obscenely lucky! Most people don't get either one of those before 100.
Soo I'm back.. Thanks everyone for the help
I set up my mystcraft area, and got crystal on my first book.. Is this supposed to happen?
Oh yeah, can someone explain in detail what I need to connect to the nether..? for the lava
Ok, I understand how to do this now thanks again

Random is random. One person can get it the very first time, another could go 20,000 times. The odds are on the fairly rare side, I think in the 50-150 range.
I'm not the person to ask about nether lava farming though. I just go solar
Was that really necessary? You were watching a video. You saw a system to automate lava transport from the nether. You want to know how to build it. That's all we need. Your little snide remark about tekkit serves no purpose other than to add vitriol and fuel a fight.
In brackets, do world anchors work interdimensionally? I mean, will a world anchor keep some nether/end/mystcraft chunks even if I'm not in that specific dimension/age? Or do I have to be in it for them to work properly?
A dimension will only be loaded if a client requests it from the server by entering that dimension.
It will keep it loaded afterwards though. Well, I can confirm with a quarry in a mystcraft age at least.
I guess Forge changes it to keep the dimensions loaded... well at least my Quarry and my Netherpump work somehow even if I'm not in that age/the nether.
my first age is a crystal and dense ore ageI got both crystal age, and dense ores within 40 ages... maybe I was lucky. Now I'm just trying to find out how to exploit Pandara!
That it was tekkit provided context as to what mods were involved in a quick clear and concise manner and assisted those who wished to help the user in knowing what mods exactly were involved, and which weren't.
Reading the thread please note yours is the first with snide remarks and vitriol.
Quarries now have (have for a little while at least) a built in chunkloader. I think it only loads chunks if the quarry is being powered and is mining, not sure though haven't tested.
To OP, I would suggest investing in a netherack, magmatic engine, and Magma Crucible system. You need a bucket of lava to start but after that the only limit to how much lava you can produce is how many Magma Crucibles you make (and how many magmatic engines per crucible, max of 5/per), and the setup is simple, quarry in the nether pumping netherrack into a (or a few) enderchests (and some overflow chests), then pumping out the netherack into an army of waiting Magma Crucibles, which are powered by magmatic engines (pump lava from the crucibles to the engines), and the excess (and there is a lot of excess lava) can get stored in a waiting railcraft iron tank (or boring old buildcraft tanks, yawn, lol).
If you are playing SSP, then this really cuts down on lag because there are no flowing liquid calculations to worry about in the nether.
The largest size railcraft iron tank is 7x7x8 (unless they made it 9x9, don't know), that stores 6272 buckets of lava, I filled up the largest size railcraft iron tank with lava in a few hours, I'm going to power my whole base with lava, muhahahahah!
No idea why you'd spend all that time getting mystcraft portals and using an expensive method of transporting lava from the nether to the overworld when a small alteration to Tekkit's usual method works better.

The Forestry Bottler does however require a constant supply of capsules or tin cans.

And if you have Gregtech active capsules get expensive fairly quick (although using a powered liquid transposer in place of a bottler on both ends would help relieve that, but then it wouldn't be as simple)
